Summer Camp: A typical day...

Camp Days are Designed for Fun

Our Curriculum Theme this year is:  We Are Partners in Creation

A Typical Day/Week
Registration is at 2 pm Sunday.  Shortly after all members of the group arrive and name tags are made, the groups starts learning names, works on team building and begins planning for their weekly schedule.  Some of the groups will have the opportunity to do their swim test in Wildcat Lake and have a little fun time before supper.

If you are in Rustic, you will hike out to your site.  Your gear will be driven to Rustic and you will have time to settle in your cabin.  Your group will also talk about options for the week and you will decide as a group on the activities and trips you would like to do.  You will also begin cooking your supper.

Sunday evening everyone gathers in the Land O Goshen for some fun songs and to meet everyone.

Breakfast is at 8:00 am.    Daily each group will make their own bag lunches since they will off hiking, exploring on and off grounds.

Groups will begin their activities of:  Arts & Crafts, Swimming, Canoeing, Recreation, Nature Studies, Creek Hikes, Climbing Wall, Team Building elements, Bible studies, or off camp trips.

Each group will have an afternoon snack:  churn homemade ice cream, watermelon, fruit, etc.  Supper is at 6:00. Each evening about 8:00 we have Evening Watch for All Camp at different locations each evening.  Evening Watch is a time of worship, Bible Study and singing and led by our weekly Chaplain.
