Camp Information
Mini-Camp:
(Completed grade 2) This half week is a great opportunity for
first-time campers to get a “taste” of camp and a chance for
parents to get used to their children being away from home.
Emphasis is placed on developing personal confidence and
social skills. Activities
include making crafts, playing games, learning camping songs,
and having fun Bible times, all within small cabin family units.
Offered: Week 4
(Sunday-Wednesday)
Price: $185
Villagers:
(Completed grades 3-4) Our cool, hillside cabin village is home
for campers in this awesome camp week. Lots of swimming,
boating, crafts, games, small group and large group activities
keep cabin groups going from morning till night.
This is a highly-organized small-group program in which
staff take extra care to help their young campers make new
friends and provide activities that are exciting and
challenging. Self-reliance and independence will be encouraged
within the safety of their familiar cabin group. Villager cabins
also participate in all-camp evening activities.

Vagabonds:
(Completed grades 5-6) Living mostly without electricity,
cooking breakfast and supper over a campfire, and preparing

This is not total “roughin’ it” as the site
includes a bathhouse shelter with hot water and toilets.
This program focuses on promoting self-esteem,
independence, and social skills.
Campers also enjoy typical
camp
activites
and a special river tubing trip.

Venturers:
(Completed grades 7-8)
Living in duplex units with adjoining lounge, these
campers expand on social and personal skills.
Venturers begin to appreciate the real depth of the Bible
Camp experience as they deepen existing friendships, discover
new friends, and nurture the seeds of personal faith.
Given
more opportunities to choose camp activities they particularly
enjoy, basketball and volleyball courts and the Canteen are
favorite gathering places. The
overnight camp-out and ropes course provide valuable experiences
for positive adolescent development.
Offered:

behavior and understanding of intentional Christian community.
Offered: Week
8
Price:
$325
Women
& Kids: Single
women, moms, and grandmothers enjoy relief from daily meal
preparation, clean-up tasks, and constant childcare.

have more time for themselves, each other, and God!
Guest speakers, workshops, and late-night saunas refresh
the body, mind, and soul!
