Summer Activities

We are often asked about the kinds of activities campers might get to do while at summer camp. 

If you look at the sample schedule, you will see campers have a variety of ways they may be involved in activities:
  • All Camp Activities (most evenings): Field games like Capture the Flag, an All Camp Swim on hot evenings, a special "theme" meal.
  • Cabin Group Activities (each afternoon): These activities are planned and scheduled each evening for the next day. 
  • Small group (pre-scheduled): Bible Adventures, etc.
  • Individualized Activities (each morning): Chosen during the registration process OR each day. Options chosen during registration are listed on each camp page (such as Horse Rides, Water, Sports, Guitar, Rocket Building, etc.). Individualized activities chosen the day of will vary from year to year depending on the skills of current summer ministry staff, and might include: critter hunting adventure hikes, crafts, pickleball, archery, a special Bible discussion, Zip Line (for teens) and more.
