CAMP DAYS ARE THE BEST DAYS
Every morning at camp starts with a fresh, delicious breakfast in the dining hall followed by group fellowship time, fondly referred to as “Morning Watch.” It is important to start each day right – both physically and spiritually.
From there, only adventure awaits!
If you have any questions we haven’t answered on this page, it’s probably in our Camper FAQ at the bottom of the page.

Camper FAQ
What will a day in the life of camp look like?
Please take a look at our daily schedule.
What if I need to change a skill after the first day?

Packing List for 7-Day Campers
Packing List for 13, 20, and 27-Day Campers
How do I select the skills I would like to participate in while at camp?
Campers have the opportunity to design their own schedule. There are a few skills for which campers must pre-register and pay a fee. Skill placement begins prior to your arrival at camp and you will receive your final schedule on Monday morning. Skill offerings for a given session are determined by the camper skill requests and the availability of teaching staff. Registered campers can select and amend their skills via CircuiTree.
How often do the skills meet?

· Full skill days are Monday – Wednesday and Friday.

How much money do I need to bring?
We suggest $100 for every two week session. Charges for personal items, cluster and hall activities, medical expenses, and camp store/canteen will be deducted. Spending account information will be confirmed with each camper family during check-in.
Can I bring my own costumes or musical instruments for night activities?
Absolutely! We provide tons of opportunities and night activities that are made even better with costumes, musical instruments, and fun props. Evening activities vary from session to session and are subject to change. During April, the Camp Director will publish the summer events document which lists themed events to expect each session.
How often is the camp store open and what items are available?
The camp store is open on opening day, closing day, and daily during rest hour. Stamps, cards, stationery, disposable cameras, toothbrushes, and clothing are sold in the camp store.
Will I get free time during the day?
We strive to balance the need to keep campers constructively active (thus preventing boredom and homesickness) with the need for campers to have some time to slow down and enjoy moments with their friends.
After 4th skill, campers will go to their cluster and enjoy an hour of free time. Once girls have gone through the first five days of camp, we begin to slow down the pace of things (i.e., sleep late Sunday).
You will play, laugh, learn, love, and smile more than ever before!
Is camp fun?
Oooh yeah! You will love every minute of it so much you will not want to leave!!!
