Special Needs 1
June 4-8 | $280 | All Ages | Location: Cedar Lodge Dorm
Dean: Matty Simpson
This session serves campers across a variety of needs and accommodations. A unique facet of these sessions is that we keep the camper to faculty ratio low (we strive for one faculty member assigned to each camper). Campers are given special attention and care in order to participate in the same activities all our campers get to enjoy: campfire, worship and outdoor activities. We want these campers and their families to have a beautiful camp experience unlike any other.
Treehouse Adventure:
5th & 6th
June 11-15 | $235 | Ages: 5th & 6th | Location: Treehouse Village
Dean: Brad Milner
Our Treehouse Adventure sessions have many things in common with our regular sessions, but in a more rustic setting. Like regular camp, TA campers will have devotions, worship time and campfire as well as outdoor games. Unlike a regular session, TA campers will stay in our Treehouse Village, sleeping in cabins up in the trees! TA campers learn outdoor skills, such as how to hang a hammock and cook over the fire. They are in charge of preparing meals and cleaning their dishes. Finally, expect some special outdoor activities that you won't get in a "regular" session, such as hiking or even an off-site trip!
Middle School:
6th, 7th + 8th
June 11-16 | $245 | Ages: 6th-8th | Location: Cedar Lodge Dorm
Dean: Tim Monks
This is a regular session of camp. Campers will stay in the dorms, have lessons and worship, learn about international missions, attend campfires, eat snacks, stay in a bunk bed - you know, all those good camp things. Each regular session is unique to the Dean and faculty leading it, so you will never experience the exact same thing twice!
​
Special activities might include any of the following: archery, zip lining, hiking, swimming, canoeing or paddle boating on the lake, field games and more!

Parent & Me
June 23-25 | $35 | Ages: 1st-5th | Location: Cedar Lodge Dorm

Parents: now you can attend camp with your child! This session is distinctive - families attend together, do lessons and games together and stay in the dorms together! This session is meant to equip parents and children with a foundation built on Christ. It's a wonderful bonding experience for the family.

Be Creative (BeCre)
July 23-28 | $245 | Ages: 7th-12th Grade | Location: Cedar Lodge Dorm
Dean: Shawn Young
A session for the artistic at heart. Be Creative is designed for campers who would rather "doodle than dribble". Campers will still do outdoor activities such as zip line, archery, etc., but there will also be handfuls of creative activities meant to stretch campers in innovative ways.
​
BeCre-specific activities are unpredictable - much of this session is a surprise! - but here are some things a camper might encounter: sewing/costume design, podcast crafting, morning announcements, improv games, food and meal challenges, sculpture, photography, a worship experience with a focus on campers participating with instruments and more.
​
Do you know someone who likes to think outside the box? This is the session for them.
