ELEMENTARY
CAMP

Our goal with elementary campers is to engage with their interests, questions, and abilities! We understand how critical it is for us to give our full attention to an elementary camper in order to love them well. During the week, campers will also be encouraged to build friendships, learn teamwork, and establish good sportsmanship through a variety of games, competitions, and activities they will partake in. And most importantly, we aim to demonstrate and instill in each camper God’s love for them.

Our counselor Impact

Camp counselors play a distinct role in the summer camp setting. They are the leaders. Mentors. Mediators. Parents-away-from-home. And they can be some of the most influential people in a young person’s life.

Whether it’s teaching kids how to make friendship bracelets, playing in the pool with hundreds of wild campers, or having deep conversations, camp counselors get to share their hearts of gold with children who never forget them.
