Frequently Asked Questions What should my camper bring? Click Here for the Gear Check List. Click Here for the camper forms. What does a typical day at camp look like? Camp begins at 8am with a hot breakfast. Then, the entire camp gathers for worship, camp songs, and a daily message we call CELEBRATION. Morning activities begin next. Your campers will swim, participate in sports, have out door adventures, make arts and crafts, learn in Christian formation, participate in archery, boating, and drama and much much more. The morning activities are the same every day so that campers can build skills. After lunch and a small siesta campers will go to three afternoon activities of the same variety but changing everday. After dinner the whole camp gathers for an all camp program designed by our program team and different every night. Have you ever played capture the flag in boats, taken a trip through time and space to meet aliens, or captured a bad guy in the wild wild west? At camp we do it all! After all that adventure we need a snack. Campers head off to cabin devotions and bed (usually between 9:15 and 9:30pm for junior camp and 10pm for amazing journey). ZZZZZZZZZZZZ camp is FUN and tiring. Another huge part of our program is our adventure team building component. Every camper will have the chance to participate, in an age appropriate way, in our challenge course. We build communication and team work skills while playing fun field games and using the low and high ropes.
