Beginner’s Camps
A distinctive introduction to camping for those finishing first and second grades. This three-day experience will include many of the camp program features that children love the most. Games, hikes, campfires, Bible studies, and other activities relating to our theme are designed to be appropriate for younger children.
These campers are housed in the Dormitory Lodges for their safety and comfort.
Older Children’s Camps
Children finishing grades 3 through 5 enjoy a full week camp experience. The 2008 theme, Handle With Care, will guide all of the activities for each cabin group.
Games, hikes, hayrides, Bible study and all the other Camp activities are included in the program. Campers of this age live in cabin groups of five campers and a counselor. Program families consist of two cabins, one boys’ and one girls’. Older Children reside in their own cabin village.
Younger Youth Camps
New and experienced campers finishing grades 6-8 will have the opportunity to be transformed by the life-giving grace of God while exploring the theme, Handle With Care. This exciting program includes archery, games, hikes, boating, and much more. Younger youth campers reside in their own camper village for increased community.
Older Youth Camps
By design, the older youth camps offer an occasion for young men and women completing grades 9-12 to have more choice and responsibility in their program planning. All of the activities of camp are included, plus some special events available only to these older campers. A well-prepared staff will guide these young adults to consider how to follow Jesus in their own time and place.
Please note: Descriptions of our specialty camps, as well as those listed here are available in our Summer Camps Brochure. To request that brochure, a campership form, or any other printed material, e-mail us.
