The ExperienceWe subscribe to the small group camping model. This means that two counselors and their 12 coed campers plan, work, play, worship, and grow together as they strive to build a Christ-centered community of trust, openness, sharing and forgiveness. Campers are challenged to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord as they grow spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. Opportunities abound for making new friends; meeting people from all walks of life; learning and practicing outdoor and leadership skills; taking responsibility for God's world; having barrels of fun; laughing a lot; and reaching out to others.

In general we ask each staff member to SERVE as a Christian guide and role model for each camper; USE YOUR GIFTS AND TALENTS to enrich the camp program; SEEK to provide campers with a meaningful experience; and GIVE the best that you have to offer to all those with whom you will work and live.
