SUMMER CAMP

Christian camping offers participants a family-style setting in which campers experience dimensions of the Christian faith, from proclamation to prayer, to support and forgiveness. Experiencing the faith enables persons to integrate the faith into their daily life. The Faith becomes "real," "touchable," and "meaningful." Church camp transfomrs lives and develops leaders for today's ministry challenges.

As a ministry, we believe that the best way to help make disciples for Jesus Christ is through our serving the local church and their needs. So, we are not a send your kids and ask 'em how it was camp. Instead, we believe the local church leaders are an integral part of a succesful camp; from sharing in the program leadership and development, through games, counselors, activities and spiritual growth. A succesful camp will return a strengthened community to their church to continue growing in Christ.

Parents

We understand the wonderful love you have for your children. We know that you want your children to be safe and happy all while they are challenged to grow emotionally and spiritually at camp. We know children, and not just our own. Our staff are professionals who are skilled at making great experiences that will help your children explore God, nature, community and themselves. Let us help your child grow at camp this summer.

Visitors

The welfare of our campers and guests is our utmost priority. Therefore, every individual on-site, with the exception of campers, is run through the National Sex Offender Public Registry. In addition, we discourage visitors with the exception of Pastors, Youth Pastors, and Children’s Pastors. Parents & Guardians are discouraged from visiting and phoning campers during their week of camp. Personal contacts from parents can have negative effects regarding homesickness and community building times for both your camper and the other campers in their group. Remember, if there is a problem with your child, we will contact you. All other visitors are not allowed at camp for any reason.
