Overnight Camp
Yarrr Matey! Thar be a God who loves us, and learn more about him we shall! This summer, we’ll set sail on a quest like no other—discovering the ultimate treasure, Christ’s love, and deepening our relationship with Him. As we navigate the high seas together this summer, we’ll focus on building deeper connections with each other and growing in our faith. Camp is an opportunity to step away from the everyday, experience the joy of community, and learn more about Christ along the way! This year we will have many awesome pirate-themed activities spread out throughout the week that you’ll get to experience with your crew!
Daily Activities:
Campers will experience a diverse set of activities that broaden horizons and build lasting memories, including creative crafts, waterslide, swimming, group games and sports, night activities, and interaction with God’s creation. Additional activities vary between camps.
Unique main events to this year for all week-long camps:
Daily Living:
The camp encounter allows kids to unplug from “normal” life surrounded by the grandeur of God’s creation. Campers sleep in bunkhouses without electricity and cook breakfast and some dinners over a campfire. Lunch is served in the dining hall. Camp is about relationships, so we ensure that our staff have been carefully selected to represent quality Christian character. All staff have obtained all necessary background checks, undergo comprehensive training, and follow PA mandated reporter requirements.

“As a parent I think camp is important for independence and to not be “comfortable” all the time. Cabins with no A/C or electric. This is good. My daughter loves all the activities and was super happy. I mean, we came from CA for this camp. That says it all.“ -Parent Comment
