Everyday campers will experience time to swim in the pool, participate in group games, spend time with their small group or cabin group and worship around the campfire. Camper’s will be encouraged to see God in nature, in others and in themselves. By midweek campers will be forming friendships that often last throughout the year. The midweek trip to the picnic grove area of Holy Ground to enjoy games and food cooked over the grill is often a favorite memory. I recommend you find a friend to go with you and take advantage of this camp!

Junior Camp Mini – This is a 2-night, 3-day version of the Junior camp. It is a great way to try out camp if a youth has never been to camp or away from home for an extended time. Although shorter in time frame, this camp holds true to the same elements of Junior camp: Daily swims help campers cool off and enjoy splashing in the pool. Campfires every evening help campers experience one of the most legendary parts of going to camp. Spending two nights in the cabins can create some awesome memories. Junior camp Mini may be shorter than the week-long version but it packs an amazing amount of fun into those 3 days. This is also a great camp to bring your parents along as counselors.

Family Camp – The best part of family camp is a toss-up between the fun activities for our children and the adult sharing groups that give encouragement and support to all of us. A flexible schedule allows many individual families to blend into one Body of Christ gathered on Holy Ground. Family camp is a great time to just relax and be family. Slow down, swim in the pool, take long naps, and join together in family friendly worship in the evenings. This camp provides opportunities for parents to talk to other parents while youth have fun together and develop friendships. If your family is like most and could use a little more time together then I encourage you to attend family camp this summer.

A closing worship that often moves both adults and children to tears of joy. In short, Grandparents (even adopted Grandparents) can affect the life path of their Grandchildren so put this one on your calendar.
