Adventurers Wilderness Camp

Ages: 12-14,
Dates: June 29-July 4 and August 3-8
Cost: $285

 

These camps are designed especially for junior high campers, with special activities just for older campers that include the zipline, vertical playpen and the nighttime game, "Mission Impossible." U-Pick-It morning electives offer ultimate frisbee, cliff rappelling, drama, volleyball and much more, including the four Speciality Tracks. Activities span more time than with younger campers, the days start later and there's more personal choice. Counselors and speakers deliberately engage campers in meaningful conversations about relevant spiritual and relational issues, with an intentional focus on developing healthy relationships with others and with their Creator.
