SUMMER CAMP
Building Relationships Between Christ, Each Other, And Nature
This year’s theme is Groundwork. We will be discovering all about the groundwork Christ did for our faith through Bible stories, Small Group, and spending time with other Christ followers.
Groundwork is our theme for this summer. Our basic weeks of camp are called “Adventure Camp” on the registration page. We also offer specialty weeks of camp like Drama, Archery, and Sports Camps. If you register for any of our specialty camps, please know that your camper will be doing mostly specialty activities and some limited adventure camp activities. They will always get the Bible story and small group time together.
Archery Camp
Archery Camp will have 2 sessions per day learning basic archery skills, building each day from the ground up with stance, grip, draw, hold, release. Camp has USA Archery trained staff running the program. Outside of the archery sessions, campers will enjoy all the other camp activities.
Drama Camp
Drama Camp will be producing a musical at the end of the week. Campers will practice music, blocking, and choreography. They will spend most of each day in the chapel at rehearsals, but will also enjoy all the water activities to get wet and stay cool! Drama camp is an overnight only option to have more time for rehearsal.
Sports Camp
Sports Camp focuses on drills and skills of sports like volleyball, basketball, soccer, and flag football. Your camper doesn’t need to be an expert in any of these sports, but should be willing and open to coaching and trying new things. giant soccer ball's, or tiny goals will help build skills and teamwork! Sport campers will still do water activities like the slip n slide and kiddie pool kickball.
Survival Skills Camp
Survival Skills Camp will focus on how to live off the grid! Cooking over a fire, starting fires in harsh conditions, shelter building, orienteering, and lots more! Your camper does not need to have any experience in these things. We will introduce these skills in fun teambuilding environments!
S.T.E.M. Camp
S.T.E.M. Camp is a day camp only week that will focus on the fun, creative side of S.T.E.M. by learning about simple machinery, nature, and teambuilding engineering challenges. Our goal is to spark curiosity and get the camper excited for school to start!

Counselor-in-Training Program
The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program is a behind-the-scenes look at camp. We will pour into our CITs and help them grow deeper in faith while learning leadership skills along the way. CITs will help with rec set up and clean up, serve food in the dining hall, and help supervise campers. They will also join campers during large group and worship, have their own mentor and devotion time, and participate in the “fun parts” of camp, like slingshots and archery, to boot! At the end of the summer, your CIT will receive a letter of verification on weekly volunteer hours served and a letter of recommendation with a successful completion of the week! We only have room for a few girls and boys each week of camp, so register early to ensure a spot! All CITs are asked to attend an Orientation Class and do online training. CITs must be entering 9th -12th grade to participate, and we ask CITs to attend camp as a camper for High School week, which is Session 1 for summer 2025!
Day Camp CIT registration is $75 per week. Overnight CIT registration is $150 per week. Each CIT will receive a leader T-shirt, devotional, water bottle, and drawstring bag. There are no discounts for CITs. The registration price covers only our cost. If your CIT is coming for multiple sessions, please reach out for a discount, but your CIT will be asked to bring their supplies (water bottle, t-shirt, etc) back each week!
