* DAY CAMP for ages 4 1/2 - 12 years

 

Campers ages 4 1/2 - 10 enjoy a full range of summer experiences including hiking, games, crafts, nature study, swimming, sports, learning the bible, and the arts.  We offer weekly field trips to area beaches, parks and other places of local interest.  Weekly themes bring a focus and thrill to our camp!

 

Campers ages 11 - 12 enjoy all that is mentioned above as well as expanded activities to increase personal confidence, peer trust and support.  Campers in this group are involved in the planning of camp wide activities and events. This group goes on additional trips through the week.

 

* CIT PROGRAM for ages 13 & 14 years

 

The CIT (Counselors in Training) is a leadership-training program offered to a limited number of youth ages 13 & 14.  This is a great opportunity for youth to learn what it takes to be an effective camp counselor.  These youth will be helping to plan, implement and lead activities, games and worship.
