As childhood obesity rates continue to climb, it is very important for children to remain active.  When children are at summer camp, they have every chance to be physically active.  There are games to be played, hikes to take, canoes to be paddled, and so much more to discover.

4. Your child will build self-confidence.

When your child is at camp they are a part of a community that cares & supports them. They are given opportunities to succeed which helps them develop their self-confidence. There are non-competitive activities they participate in along with a variety of other experiences that help them increase their self-esteem and confidence every day.

Through the community of summer camp, children practice many social skills.  They share cabin space, chores, and quality time with other campers.  They must agree to respect each other, even when they disagree.  Throughout their time at camp, they'll learn how to resolve disagreements, cooperate with others, listen to each other, and witness the value of honest communication.

How long does your child go without playing or working with technology? Do you ever think they need a break from it all? Summer camp offers a place where your child can come, be unplugged, and experience real people, real emotions, real activities, and face to face communication. Your child will learn that there is a lot to do outside of technology.

1. Your child will learn & experience faith.

During their week of camp, children learn about and grow in their faith.  Some will be introduced to faith for the first time, and learn about Christian beliefs.  There will be Bible Study every day with their cabin mates and nightly worship led by a camp chaplain (from a local church).  Campers experience conversations about what it means to be Christian, participate in worship, and have opportunities to put their faith into action each day.
