Week Schedule

1st day:

Registration is between 2:00pm-5:00pm.
(Parents are invited to stay for dinner at 6:00pm.  Just let us know at registration!)

Campers meet their counselor, get settled into the cabin, and play some get-to-know-you games while waiting for the rest of the campers to arrive.  After dinner that evening, campers sing songs, tour camp, and are heartily welcomed to camp with an orientation and introductions to staff members.

Each evening campers will have time to enjoy canteen (the camp store) where they can enjoy snacks, priced at $0.75 per item. After canteen, at the close of the day, everyone will gather around the campfire for evening worship.  Following worship campers and counselors head back to their cabins to reflect on their day and settle into the night with a devotion.

2nd and 3rd days:

Breakfast begins each morning at 8:00 a.m. followed by singing on the back deck of the main lodge.  Worship follows breakfast and is held in the outdoor chapel, the meadow, or one of the many other beautiful spots around camp.  Bible study follows worship and involves reading the Bible along with interactive activities, games and crafts to bring active learning into the experience.

One day will be spent at the beach at Lake Alturas.  Campers will enjoy a beach lunch and time in and around the water, with counselor and lifeguard supervision.  The other day will include an adventurous day hike with everyone’s favorite trail lunch.  The second half of the afternoon campers will enjoy canoe rides with a counselor on Alturas Lake.  Quiet time is also a great part of the afternoon where stories are read, letters can be written, or naps can be taken!

The evenings of both days involve playing games, snacks at canteen, and worship around the campfire.

Last day:

Breakfast begins at 8:00 a.m. followed by Bible study and packing.  Closing worship is right before lunch at 12:00 p.m. Campers will watch a video of their week following lunch. Parents are welcome to start arriving at this time to join us. It’s always nice to see the great fun that was had throughout the week.  Following the video campers begin saying their good-byes.
