Come and be a part of the Camp Tekoa experience! Camp Tekoa has a progressive resident camp program, which encourages campers to engage in age-appropriate activities, allowing them to be challenged physically, mentally, and spiritually year-after-year. Resident campers learn parallel lessons between these activities and their own personal spiritual walk. It is easy to spend time learning and reflecting in God's natural world and to feel Christ's presence throughout the week. Our Elementary Resident Campers are the youngest age group to participate in our high adventure challenge elements. Some of these elements include the tree climb and our 200 ft. lake zipline.

Elementary campers may take one off-site trip to visit one of our national or state forests in the area. See a Mock Schedule of events.

Elementary Resident camp is organized in a family group structure (one boy group and one girl group together) so that campers spend time with other male and female campers in their same age group. This type of structure promotes strong camper-to-camper and camper-to-staff relationships. Rustic cabins, lodges or tent cabins sleep campers and staff in single bunks. Individual cabin groups may vary (up to 9 campers), with a maximum of 16 campers per family group. See What to Pack.
