TRADITIONAL YOUTH CAMP AGES 8 - 15
Our camp program includes swimming, boating, soccer, kickball, wiffleball, hiking, volleyball, basketball, large group games, a giant slip-and-slide, tie-dyeing, nature based activities, a game room, camp-wide competitions, movie night, campfires, dances, and much more! In addition to sports and aquatics, we encourage the arts through crafts and talent development programs. There is a little something for everyone to try and enjoy. Faith Based Activities will round out our offerings. Daily prayer and faith based exercises will be part of the daily routine.
YOUTH DAY CAMP AGES 8-15
Our day camp program runs from 9am to 5pm Monday through Thursday, and 9am to 12pm Friday. Day campers are also welcome to join us Sunday night at 7pm for orientation. Day campers will participate in all the normal daily activities. This is a great way for campers who are unsure of leaving home for a week to see what camp is all about and still get a great summer camp experience.
JUNIOR COUNSELOR TRAINING CAMP AGES 14-15
This certification program is for the motivated camper who hopes one day to work at a certified residential camp program. These young campers will learn the skills necessary to be a successful camp counselor and a successful leader in life. The students' day will include participating in camp meals, recreation, waterfront and free time. Completion of this course in no ways guarantees future employment. Campers of this age may still chose to participate in the traditional camp program.
