Elementary Mini Resident CampElementary Mini Resident Camp
7-9 year olds

Elementary Mini Resident Camp is a shortened version of our weeklong elementary resident camp. This four day, three night camp is a fun introduction for our first-time or younger campers. Activities are geared with group interaction in mind, so that campers are encouraged to make friends with other group members, and stay busy from morning to night. Most activities are similar to the full week Elementary Resident camp where campers share in activities such as boating, swimming, tree climb, zipline, arts & crafts, hiking, challenge course, campfires, talent show (Thursdays) and more. Campers will meet with the pastor once during their stay to hear stories about Jesus Christ and to ask questions about church and the Bible.

Resident campers are organized in family groups.  For Elementary Mini Camp, each family group typically consists of 6-8 boys and 6-8 girls with a male and female counselor.  Mini Camp family groups participate in all activities and meals together and are housed separately by gender in bunk style lodging.  Campers who register for both sessions in the same week must be picked up during Wednesday morning check-out and return during Wednesday afternoon check-in.
