Cabin Camp

Cabin camp provides campers with a chance to celebrate and experience Christ’s love through a variety of activities such as, crafts, games, nature hikes, swimming, campfires and more! During these activities, counselors will emphasize how campers should share Christ’s love with everyone. Through scripture, discussion groups, and worship, campers will learn not only about Christ’s love but how to share it with others. We hope to send campers away with one of the most important facts, that Christ loves everyone, including themselves. Through this camping encounter, they will learn how to share Christ’s love with all and how they should apply it once they get home.

Computer Camp

Computer camp offers a unique experience for 5th graders through junior highers to open up a computer and explore its inner workings as part of a real hands on experience. Campers will also get the opportunity to learn about the inner workings of Christ. Through group discussions, scripture, and worship, campers will be able to learn more about Christ’s love. Along with learning about Christ, campers will have the opportunity to gain an insight into hardware, web design, word processing, desktop publishing, basic programming and more! Repeat campers will expand on their computer experiences of last summer. Overall we hope to send campers away with not only knowledge about computers but also about Christ’s love. This year, adults will have the opportunity to work alongside youth while learning about all aspects of computing. Participants may bring their own computer to work on during hardware lab. In addition, adult computer campers will learn about computer networking, internet connection, and safety issues. Adult campers will also gain insight into Microsoft Office. As an outreach mission opportunity, campers will prepare donated surplus laptops for shipping to Operation Classroom, Africa. Participants should be comfortable using e-mail, the internet, and word processing on an IBM style Windows-based personal computer. Minimum age for attending adult computer camp is 21.

Dramatic Arts Camp

Dramatic Arts campers will participate in a variety of activities that will give them experience both on and off stage, just like God’s word can prepare us for all stages of life. This program will provide campers with knowledge that they can take back to their local church/drama group and apply on a practical basis. Activities include acting, clowning, set construction, lighting, and prop construction. Through the activities of worship, group discussion, and scripture, campers will also get an opportunity to learn how they canuse God’s word throughout their lives. During the week, campers will prepare a short one-act play, which will culminate in a Friday night performance. Family and friends are encouraged to attend. Dramatic arts camp combines three programs designed for different age levels that take place during the same week of camp. We hope to send campers away with skills in performing as well as knowledge of the importance of God’s world in their lives.

4 Girls Only

What is the truth behind purity, dating, and fashion?  What does it mean to have a REAL relationship with Christ? These are the questions we will explore at our first ever all girls camp. We will have a chance for our girlie sides to come out as we get pedicures and manicures, girl talk, and enjoy God’s creation while at camp. Our goal is to create a unique camp experience, compelling each girl to build her life with purpose through a refreshed, hope filled heart, a renewed self-confidence and a deep desire for a relational, daily walk with Jesus Christ.
