Church Week
Participant: $350 Leader: $125
Bring your whole church to camp together! Build relationships through this camp that’s the only week of the summer where everyone who's completed at least first grade (including adults!) can experience our awesome summer camp at the same time! Plus, the price is discounted, and there’s a night to go off-site with your group.
Once onsite, all campers are divided into appropriate age groups. Campers then experience camp just like they normally would any other week, except on Tuesday night you gather your whole church group together for an evening that you plan with whatever you'd like - go for ice cream or the beach, play board games onsite, etc. Adults will be with the other adults in the morning for worship and Bible study and then have the afternoons and evenings free to participate in scheduled activities onsite or to do their own thing.
For all those who've completed at least 1st grade (adults, too!)
Offered June 14-19, 2020
To register:
Pastor/Youth Leader: contact the camp office to reserve spots and receive instructions
Participants: contact your pastor/youth leader for instructions
