  who will assume responsibility for them during camp. Children 2 and under MUST stay in the cabin with their parent/adult. We will have classes for children ages 3-5 so that
  parents/adults can have a break and attend the adult class.

  cabin with other campers around their age group with supervision by a cabin leader.

      campers/staff attending from your local church with one check, it's greatly
      helpful and appreciative!

Recreation:

  Zip Line, Blob, Paddle Boats, Canoes, Fishing, and additional Pond Activities while at
  Camp. We have certified facilitators on site operating all the activities.
  • To participate, campers MUST have parent/guardian permission (marked on camper application). Campers that DO NOT have parent/guardian permission to participate will have alternative activities to participate in instead.
  • Campers and Staff will have the opportunity (weather permitting) to go swimming and participate in pond activities during designated times.
    • The swim times will be private (boys/girls separated) with a lifeguard on duty. We plan to have two lifeguards at camp!
    • Campers and staff should be fully covered (dressed appropriately and adhering to dress code) while walking down to the pond and when leaving the pond (a towel/robe for body covering is not sufficient) but can wear swim/pond attire at the pond.
    • Campers and staff MUST wear a life jacket when participating in ALL pond activities. No exceptions!
    • To participate on the inflatables, no zippers or anything on bathing suits/pond clothes that could potentially cut/snag the inflatable can be worn.
