14-17 year olds
High School campers have an experience like no other. Regardless
of whether a High School Resident camper has come to Tekoa before,
they seem to embrace their week of spiritual growth and renewed
self-confidence. They gain lifelong friendships through fun Tekoa
activities and their interaction with other group members and
Family Group Leaders. In addition to classic camp activities such
as boating, swimming, climbing, zipline, hiking, talent show,
camping/cooking outdoors, swamp canoes, and the challenge course,
High School Resident campers will experience Tekoa's high ropes
course, whitewater rafting (additional parental authorization
required for rafting), Big Meadow Zipline and participating in a community outreach
project -- activities reserved only for high school campers!
Camp Tekoa has a progressive resident program, which allows campers to engage in age
appropriate activities, allowing them to be challenged physically, mentally, and
spiritually year-after-year. Resident campers will 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.
High School Resident camps are 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.
