Senior High Teen Summer Camps - at Lazy F! 

Senior High Camp

*Senior High Only - Dedicated Week*

Aug 5th - Aug 10th 2012
Grades: 9th - 13th
Cost: $345 / $395 / $445
Pastor: David Tinney, Vancouver First UMC

This may be the climax of many years of camping at Lazy F or a chance to become a new member of a welcoming community of friends. As a Senior High Camper you will go rafting on the mighty Yakima River, late night swimming at the Ellensburg Pool and take on individual and team challenges on our high ropes course, low ropes course, climbing tower and, of course, in our Lazy F 500! Senior High is the pinnacle of all camps and, therefore, is packed with all of the fun activities that Lazy F offers – you may get messy at the Olympics, get rid of the early morning ‘grumps’ with a hot cup of coffee at our Skyline Café or be awestruck by God’s Grace while sharing in an evening service with friends as the sun sets over the canyon! This is a just a taste of what is to come! 

Night Owl

*Night Owl Only - Dedicated Week*

July 23rd - July 27th 2012
Grades: 8th -13th
Cost: $290 / $330 / $370
Pastor: Geoff Helton, Ephrata UMC 

Not a morning person? Not a problem! Stay up late, sleep in later and find your way in the dark. Each day the night gets longer and the morning gets shorter. At Night Owl you will experience team challenges, adventures on our challenge course, a midnight barbeque and our infamous sunrise service at the cross.  Along the way, you may encounter a little mud, a refreshing late night swim at the pool, an evening of stargazing and some fun adventures that the staff throws in!  And now, Night Owl has an NEW age range – giving you a chance to share in fellowship with an even bigger nocturnal community!!

Wranglers

*Extended Age Range*

Dates: July 15th - July 20th 2012
Grades: 4th - 9th (Limit 30 participants)
Cost: $475 / $525 / $575
Pastor: Cathy Raymond, Lay Preacher at Tumwater UMC

This year we are merging Jr Wrangler Camps & Mid-High Wranglers to make for the ultimate Wrangler Camp Experience. At Wrangler Camp we will travel by bus to the Flying Horseshoe Ranch in Cle Elum every full day you are at camp. There you will enjoy being responsible for your own horse, including grooming, bridling, saddling and, of course, riding. When not riding you will have the opportunity to go swimming in the pool or maybe learn basic roping skills. The Flying Horseshoe staff are very professional and understanding individuals with many years of experience teaching youth to ride horses. Check out more information on the Flying Horseshoe at www.flyinghorseshoeranch.com. Boots and Helmets are provided.

After your day of fun at the Flying Horseshoe you will return to Lazy F for more fun and to experience all the traditional camping activities, including campfires, a talent show, creek time, arts and crafts and much, much more!

Leaders In Training (LIT)

Dates: July 1st - July 4th 2012
Grades: 9th - 13th
Cost: 1^st year / $200; 2^nd year $125; 3^rd year $50; 4^th year - $0
Pastor: TBD

Our Leaders In Training program is designed to help teens develop their leadership skills and give them a chance to put their new found and improved skills into practice.  Teens will be immersed in a training program learning the skills needed by Camp Counselors including risk management, leadership, and organization. They will learn these skills in a variety of ways including participating in workshops, doing mock interviews, observing Camp Counselors, assisting in group games, and working as their own united team. LITs have a job description with clear expectations. As a part of their training, they will do a placement interview which will provide feedback and determine whether they have met expectations and be placed at their camp of choice to volunteer later this summer. We hope that through this training, LITs will be ready to volunteer to assist with one week of  primary or younger elementary camps at one of our four sites (placement is not guaranteed).  Lazy F Camp wants LITs not only to come away with new skills that can help them to develop as leaders and as young people but to have had fun learning as a team! It’s hard work, but it’s worth it!

Senior High Service (SHS)

*SHS Returns For 2012*

Dates:
SHS I: June 24th - June 29th 2012
SHS II: July 8th - July 12th 2012
Grades: 9th - 13th
Cost: None, based on the requirement that youth attend another camp
Pastor: TBD

For many campers who’ve been to Lazy F, camp has become like a second home. Our senior high service sessions give a two-fold experience: one where a teen can give back to camp and one where they can spend more time at camp throughout the summer under the supervision of our dedicated staff. Senior High Service volunteers will engage in work projects around camp and help maintain the camp. Along the way they’ll share in fellowship and devotions. This is an awesome opportunity to log service hours, give meaningful service to Lazy F, and get experience and potential recommendations for a first job in the process.
