FAQs
Where do campers sleep?
Campers sleep in air-conditioned cabins grouped by gender and grade with a minimum of two counselors in each cabin.
What does a day at camp look like?
Each day is packed with activities for campers to enjoy. A regular day consists of 3 main mealtimes, morning chapel, mission time (where campers hear about what God is doing in other parts of the world), morning rec, a Bible lesson with their cabin group, personal quiet time, flat-on-back (indoor rest/relax time), free time (cabin groups can choose from a variety of camp-wide activities like swimming, zipline, canteen, put-put golf, treasure hunting, and crafts), Bible quizzing, evening rec, evening chapel with a talk from the camp speaker, then time for bed!
Activities are both indoors and outdoors, and provide campers fun, age-appropriate activities in nature, away from technology, surrounded by teens and adults who love them and point them to Christ. Campers stay with their counselors and cabin group at all times during camp.
What kind of medical care is provided while my child is at camp?
We have two medical professionals as our camp nurses on site the entire week to help administer medication and treat minor injuries/illnesses. If there is an emergency or major injury, 9-1-1 will be contacted and you will be notified.
Who makes up the camp staff?
The staff consists of cabin counselors and support staff from participating churches. Each cabin group is assigned a junior counselor (at least 14 years old) and a senior counselor (at least 16 years old), with at least two counselors in each cabin group. The support staff is made up of both qualified teen and adult staff members who plan and lead activities and provide camp support as needed.
All camp staff members are selected based on their completed staff application, skills, background check (for those over 18 yrs old), references, and a strong recommendation of their participating church.
