Our camp setting seeks to provide an environment that frees campers in this age group from the distractions of everyday life so that they can focus clearly on God and His Word. Each week of summer ministry we see campers enter into the life changing relationship with Jesus Christ. For other campers who already know Christ as Savior, our program encourages Godly character and growth through targeted Bible Studies and sound Bible preaching.

God\u2019s Word! Our program is designed to have campers intensively interact with the Bible each day. Each week we lead campers through an entire book of the Bible four times. Daily Bible reading program (1); Prepared daily devotions (2); Daily Bible quizzing (3); Scripture Memorization (4). Campers also attend afternoon and evening chapel services centered on instruction from God\u2019s Word.

Parents often choose to send a cellular phone with their child to camp in the event of \u201chome sickness.\u201d\u00a0 Experience reveals cellular phone use actually encourages home sickness in the camper.\u00a0 We request campers leave cellular phones at home.\u00a0 Parents, family and friends are welcomed to send postal mail letters and care packages to their camper.\u00a0 We encourage campers to send mail home daily, too!
