Morey's unveils French-translated website to meet growing interest of French-Canadians

The Wildwoods, NJ – July 12, 2010 – At the encouragement of local tourism officials and area campground owners, and with an interest in better reaching the growing number of French-Canadian tourists, Morey’s Piers developed and launched a new French language version of its website, in conjunction with its online marketing partner, Dot Com Marketing.

The Wildwoods, NJ – July 12, 2010 – “A Closer Walk” Christian Youth Event returns to the Wildwoods boardwalk for its ninth season with a recurring mission – to help young people strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ. On July 15, thousands of young Christians flock to Wildwood for a weekend of fellowship and renewal, hoping the Holy Spirit will touch hearts and change lives.

“We provide youth pastors with a unique, relaxed format to reach out to their youth as they guide them in their spiritual journey with Christ. We see teens, youth leaders and parents receive a positive life changing experience,” says Merideth Fiorucci, Director of Group Services.

Under the direction of CEO, Will Morey, A Closer Walk Christian Youth Event brings a combination of camping, worship, fellowship, and amusement to the Jersey Shore. This season’s program is highlighted by guest speaker Joel Johnson, co-host of "Acquire the Fire" youth conference, and worship music by Pocket Full of Rocks and Building 429.

The featured speaker, Joel Johnson, comes to the event with a spiritual message – that God can take people through even the hardest of times. It is a message that the speaker experienced for himself, as he faced an alcoholic stepfather, abuse and obesity, and yet, through it all, found the power of faith in God.

On Friday morning at 10:30 a.m., ocean baptisms become the event focal point, as participants receive baptism in the Atlantic Ocean and a certificate for remembrance.
