Explorers

Explorers is geared towards our younger summer campers looking for plenty of adventure. Whether it's your child's first time away at summer camp or third - campers will enjoy an exciting combination of the best of classic camp activities and  new creative challenges in a safe and nurturing environment. Campers will have opportunities to go hiking, get creative in the craft cabin, do archery, go climbing on our tower, take part in water activities, enjoy team competitions, learn wilderness skills and many more adventurous things!

The Layout of Explorers is Designed to Meet 5 Goals:

·         To share in a fun, unifying faith curriculum

(Chapel, part of vespers, part of afternoon activities)

·         To have time for each camper to be able to share things with their cabin and feel they are individually valued and important

(Evening Vespers - the whole day too - but specifically vespers)

·         To have an opportunity for your camper to choose an element of what they will be doing and mingle with other kids their own age with similar interests

(Morning Electives)

·         To have time for each cabin group to come together as friends

(Afternoon Cabin Time)

·         To have time for all the kids in the session to come together as a community and have fun

(Evening Program)
