Overnight Camp
Gear up for a sunny summer of 60s surf. Can you dig it? Theme night starts with Rock n Roll era burgers, shakes and fresh cut fries. We’ll hang loose all night long with water bull-riding, tidal wave racing, and tie-dye t-shirts. It’ll be far out! Framing the entire week, bunkhouse group Bible studies, meaningful worship, and evening chapel messages point to Jesus as our true hope.
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 are mandated reporter certified.

“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
