Elementary Camp is a great way to introduce and reacquaint children to God’s glorious creation.  The experiences around the campfire as we sing and share our stories, gaze at the stars, hike in the woods, find "creatures," create fun things and learn to live in community with other adults and children for a week cannot be duplicated elsewhere. At Elementary camp, campers will learn what it means to “be a hero” and live like Jesus by exploring Christian heroes, both past and present, who see a need, realized they can do something and act. Campers will interact with Bible stories and learn ways they can be heroes, too.

*Understanding our three tier camp fee system


Rate A: The lowest price is the subsidized, scholarshipped rate. Choose this option if your child needs financial assistance to attend camp.

Rate B: The middle price is the amount we spend during the week of camp for your camper to participate. These costs include the food, the people cooking the food, keeping the camp ready for campers, program supplies, and the training, food and lodging for the volunteer leaders.

Rate C: The third price is closest to the true price of an individual’s participation at camp. This includes things like insurance, utilities, replacement of equipment, and facility upgrades.
