Who should attend?
We offer programs for a multigenerational camp experience.
We welcome families of all ages and sizes, young adults, and seniors who hold fond memories of attending with their children. Each community member signs a Covenant by which to live during our week together.

Spiritual Growth
- Campers and staff participate in morning worship, Program and Circle Groups, campfire worship, and reflections before meals.
- Campers and staff learn songs and hymns at evening campfires, at all-camp morning worship, and music activities.
- Camp offers quiet time, meditative spaces, and time for deep conversations about life experiences.
Building Community and Interpersonal Relationships
- Campers and staff plan activities together, agree upon guidelines for their group life, and share daily chores and dining hall duties for the benefit of the entire camp community.
- Campers covenant with each other to define how they wish to be together at camp.
- The Spirit Committee strives to assure that all campers feel comfortable at camp. Senior campers (grades 11-12) lead daily Circle Groups from a provided curriculum.
- Worship, Program and Circle Groups, activities and campfires fuel the “creative celebration” that builds community through sharing of talents and ideas.
- At the close of the week, campers share experiences that allow them to express appreciation and love to all with whom they have camped.
Nature and Creativity
- Campers explore creativity through arts, crafts, and music using natural materials and promote expression of feelings and ideas about life experiences.
- The sacred spaces of camp encourage informal conversations about nature, life and spirituality.
- Campers and staff may sign up to learn water and boat safety, led by certified water instructors.
- Learn about the ecology of the campsite in activities, Program and Circle Groups.
Recreational and Social Activities
- Campers engage in games and sports that use the physical skills of each person. They are encouraged to try new ways of physical exercise.
- Sports are a part of camp, teaching cooperation and assisting younger campers in gaining competence. Many group games teach cooperation rather than competition.
- Laughter creates a joyful camp environment. Mime, clowning, comedy, and talent sharing are for everyone. Individuals with special skills in these areas are encouraged to share in the Variety Show.
