Benefits of Junior Camp

To the camper:

• Morning chapel services include a story about a missionary from the theme continent.

• Evening services challenge the campers to take the next spiritual step.

• Personal devotion time encourages them to make this a daily habit.

• A counselor guides campers through all the various activities—at junior camp, everyone gets to do everything.

• Each counselor has between seven and eight children in his cabin. This ratio allows the counselor to give each camper individual attention.

• The emphasis on participation means that the fun is because you're doing something and not because you're watching it.

To the church:

• Four unique themes give young people variety.
• A simple salvation messages as well as practical Bible lessons allow a church to bring kids who know much about the Bible and those who don't know much.
• Campers learn skills that will encourage them to serve in the local church. Each year concentrates on a different skill—e.g., puppets and musical instruments.
• Practical lessons on patriotism, community service, and caring for others are taught in fun, hands-on ways.

Highlights of Junior Camp

• A trail ride on horseback and a camp T-shirt are included in the camp fee.

• Saturday morning breakfast  is served on the bluffs at the end of a hayride. The speaker's final message is outdoors after some yummy, cowboy flapjacks.

• Campfire every night! Campfire can be funny, interesting, tasty, or serious.

• Wednesday skit night is put on by each cabin. Junior campers love being part of their own skit night!

• Everyone gets to experience the Edge, our high ropes course which has several events young people enjoy. The teachable moments from each experience make this a staff and camper favorite.

• The eight-acre lake has a wide variety of activities including the Giant Slide and the Rope Swing.
