Benefits of Teen Camp

To the camper:

• Five days away from all the distractions at home.

• Nine services that will challenge teens with the Word of God.

• Not too much free time but the freedom to choose what activities the camper like to do.

• Each cabin is divided by ages so that seventh graders are not in the same cabin as twelfth graders.

• Games and activities that you don't normally play at home.

• A trained, caring counselor in each cabin who looks forward to working with each camper individually. We spend two weeks of intensive training at the beginning of the summer to make sure our team is ready to be safe, have fun, and—most importantly—counsel correctly.

To the church:

• Sponsors are encouraged to come and spend time with their campers. Sponsors have their own cabin which gives them maximum flexibility to be where they need to be.
• Communication that allows the sponsor to know exactly what decisions are being made by their group.
• Follow-up letters give the church a summary of the week.
• Reunion Thursday allows youth groups to get together no matter how spread out they are among the cabins.
