Activities are structured to help youth build character around our summer camp values. The week will include hiking, swimming, rafting, and lessons in Bible and nature. Each night the group gathers aroound the fire to worship and be challenged by a message.
Teen Camp
A week jam-packed with swimming, hiking, and a trip down the river. Each evening around the campfire teens will be challenged to think critically about their faith and what it means to be a follower of Christ.
L.E.A.D. (Learning, Experiencing, And Debriefing)
An experiential learning based program designed to give youth a foundation for ministry. Each day the youth will learn about, experience, and debrief a different aspect of ministry. Topics include: service, conflict resolution, prayer, event planning, Bible study, and communication. Participation in the program is highly recommended for anyone interested in serving as summer staff in the future. (Program is limited to 15 participants)
Staff In Training
The S.I.T. program combines all of the fun activities of camp such as hiking, swimming, group games, campfire worship, etc. with an intensive curriculum of leadership skills and character development. The program will help participants appreciate the attributes of a good counselor and inspire them to aspire to godly character. Intense experiential learning and an element of hard work is central to the curriculum. This program is designed to stretch participants and some components will push them far beyond their comfort zone. Participants will be preparing many meals over a fire. Male participants will be housed in tents. Female participants will be housed in Spruce Lodge or Motels, but will do several extended campouts. This is an application based program and is limited to 6 participants of each gender. The cut-off date for applications is June 6th. An application can be downloaded from the forms page.
