Frequently Asked Questions

What can my camper expect at camp?

A Spiritual Emphasis – Bible classes and devotionals are a part of each day. Throughout the week, we learn and sing spiritual songs. We worship together as a group on Sunday and Tuesday evenings. The entire week is centered around a spiritual theme. Our goal is for everyone to grow in their faith.
Lasting Friendships – Campers are assigned to a cabin with other boys or girls their age. Each cabin has a team of counselors who work to create a positive atmosphere and make lasting memories. Campers will spend time with their cabin but will also have time in both large and small groups of campers from across the campground. Our campers treasure the friendships they make at camp!
Lots of Fun – Each camper will have a personalized schedule with a variety of daytime activities that they request during registration. They’ll also participate in camp-wide special events and games. All campers are assigned to a society – a team that competes throughout the week in games and sports. There’s also scheduled free time with friends and downtime to rest. Many campers tell us it’s the best week of the year!
