2024 Summer Theme: My Feet Are on the Rock
This year's camp theme is drawn from the parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24-27. We'll look at what it means to stand securely on the Rock (Jesus Christ) instead of on shifting sand.
What will camp be like in 2024?
As far as healthcare, in 2023 we were more or less back to pre-COVID "normal." We have no reason to expect 2024 to be any different, but if that changes we will place updates here AND will contact the families of all registered campers.
Questions about what to pack, arrival and departure procedures, or general healthcare at camp?

Some details about activities
Assigned activities – Includes things like nature studies, the climbing tower, and other challenge course activities.
Camper choice activities – In the resident camps for our older campers, there will be times when each individual camper will select from various planned activities. Options may be related to the arts (like crafts, dance, or drama), outdoor living (like slingshots, firebuilding, or funyaks), or sports (like soccer, kickball, or disc golf).
Cabin action time – Cabin groups will choose a simple activity like playing gaga, making friendship bracelets, or playing in the stream.
Evening Rec – When the whole camp assembles for various games on the rec field.
Swimming – Campers will have swim time each day, weather permitting.
Devotional time and worship time – Worship services are all-camp activities, and they will include singing and Bible-based teaching. The Bible study topic will be introduced during morning devotional time, and during the evening worship time, a speaker will present a message.
Meals – Most meals will be served on the kitchen deck, with food prepared and served by our kitchen staff. Campers will sit with their cabin group during these meals. Weather permitting, some meals (breakfast or supper) will also be prepared over the campfire at each cabin. Counselors will supervise the food preparation of those meals, using food and equipment supplied by the camp kitchen.
