Girls Camp

For girls in grades 3 - 12     

Week 1          July 22-28

This is the original camp program that we started with 70 years ago. Since then we have expanded, but it truly is a unique experience where girls can learn to be girls without any other distractions.  Girls' have the opportunity not only to develop friendships with one another and with Jesus Christ, but they can build their skills and develop their outdoor interests in ways they may not be able to elsewhere. We'd love to have you and we're sure you'll have a great time!

Here are some of the highlights of the program:

  • We have horses!

  • Outpost (cooking over a campfire and sleeping out in the woods, on the river, or under the stars)

  • Meaningful discussions

  • Campfires, singing, and daily Bible studies

  • Maybe a little SWAMP STOMPING?

 

Boys Camp

For guys in grades 3 - 11         

July 8-14

Boys will be boys and what better place for this than at Boys Camp? It is a week of outdoor activity that satisfies most young men's desire for adventure, and will give them an appreciation for the God-inspired fun this place truly is!

And what week of Boys Camp would be complete without our annual game of Capture the Flag? This all-camp, no-holds-barred game is a favorite for young and old alike. Whether it's your first time playing or you're a seasoned veteran, you'll love this game and we guarantee that you won't play it like this anywhere else!

Not only will you have a great time, but Boys Camp is the perfect place to make new friends - to learn new skills - and to develop a closer walk with God.

Here are some of the highlights of the program:

  • Our Annual Boys' Camp night of Capture the Flag!

  • Outpost (cooking over a campfire and sleeping out in the woods, on the river, or under the stars)

  • SWAMP STOMPING?

  • Special Instructions to learn a skill like archery, riflery, canoeing, etc.

Camp 101

For boys and girls ages 7-11       

July 22-25

Camp 101 is a partial week of camp specially designed for our younger campers who may not be quite ready for a full week of camp. Only campers who are ages 7 – 11 may enroll, and is perfect for those who would like a “taste” of camp. Campers will be able to experience all of the normal activities of a full week, such as swimming, hiking, crafts, games, sports, and more. It is 4 days and 3 nights packed full of all the traditional camp fun!

Each day campers have a chance to enjoy many great aspects of camp, with more intensive supervision and instruction. The greatest difference between Camp 101 and a traditional week of camp is that campers will rotate through different skill areas each day with their cabin group. Age appropriate morning devotion time is supervised by their counselor. Small group bible studies are lead by their counselor and designed with them in mind.  Camp 101 is a wonderful way for your new camper to enjoy the “best of” camp.

Here are some of the highlights of the program:

  • Crazy group games

  • Campfire fun

  • Silly songs
