2
Regular Rate: $550
Registered and paid anytime after June 7th, 2025

Why has the price increased since last summer? Due to increased costs for Southland to remain at Camp Kulaqua, we have raised the prices to what they are now. We are also going to include the price for tubing so churches don’t have to worry about it at camp.
Please feel free to reach out to Brown Peterson with any questions.
The above covers the Southland expenses. Final balance needs to be paid by the early registration deadline of June 10th in order to get the early registration rate.
BRIAN MORGAN
EVENING SPEAKER
Brian graduated from Florida Southern College in 2007. Brian went on to graduate with his Mdiv from Asbury Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Amanda, work together for a nonprofit called seeJesus, which is a global discipleship mission. They have two children: Trinity (12) and Titus (10). Brian enjoys reading, asking quality questions, and most anything fitness-related, especially Brazilian jiu-jitsu, cooking, and God’s assignment to run around his community in Lakeland, introducing people to the beauty and wonder of Jesus through the Person of Jesus study. Brian had a blast being part of camp last year and is excited to be back in the mix this year!
WILL SWARTZ
WORSHIP LEADER
Will grew up leading worship and attending Redeemer Church in Riverview since he was in middle school when his family moved to Hillsborough County to plant the church. His favorite part of leading worship is freeing God’s people to lift their hearts up to the Lord amidst all the distractions. As a Tampa Bay native, he loves Lightning hockey! He is married to Shauna and recently welcomed their first child Eleanor in May. Will and many of their band members grew up attending Southland Camps where many of them first met Jesus and they believe deeply in its mission, “Connecting Students to Christ & Community.”
