The daily camp schedule includes devotions, Bible classes, singing, sports, hiking, games, water sports (summer camp), and regular meals. There is also entertainment each evening, including a terrific variety show by the campers, a banquet (Summer Senior Camp), and New Year’s Eve Party (Winter Camp).
All of our camps have multiple medical personnel on staff, including doctors, EMTs, and nurses.
Summer Camp starts on Sunday at 4:00 PM for Senior Camp and 3:00 PM for Junior Camp. Winter Camp starts at 3:00 PM on the first day of camp. For Winter Camp this day changes based on the New Years Holiday. To be fair to everyone, there will be no drop-offs before 3:00 PM.
Senior Campers may be picked up on Saturday between 9:30 and 11:00 AM. Junior Campers may be picked up on Friday between 12:30 and 2:30 PM. Winter Campers may be picked up on the final morning between 9:30 and 11:00 AM. For Winter Camp this day changes based on the New Year’s Holiday. Campers have responsibilities until this time. Due to these responsibilities and other schedule interruptions, if campers are checked out early, there will be a clean-up fee of $15.00 per camper, collected at check out. Please note, during summer camp NO checkouts can be performed on the final night of camp, during the awards ceremony, or during the slide show. If pick-up is necessary, it must be before or after these activities. Due to excessive abuse of checkout times, if campers are picked up after the checkout window, there will be an additional charge of $25.00 per camper, per hour, collected at the time of pick-up.
Registration typically opens in late January/early February for Summer Camp and in October for Winter Camp.
