11-14 year olds

Camp Tekoa's progressive resident program allows campers to engage in age appropriate activities, challenging them 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 throughout the week.

Middle School Resident camp is a fun and challenging combination of both on-site and off-site activities. Campers have the opportunity to take adventure to the next level while they are here at Tekoa by challenging themselves to climb our 40-foot climbing tower, or zip across our lake zipline. Our older middle school resident campers will have the opportunity to rock climb at a nearby rock face. Campers will also be involved in on-site activities such as, group challenge courses, boating, swimming, rope swing, arts & crafts, hiking, campfires, talent shows and more. Off-site, campers may visit DuPont State Forest's multiple hiking trails and waterfalls. One of our most popular middle school activities is their group cookout/campout. Camp Tekoa has 5 campsites on property, where groups cook dinner over an open fire and sleep on a covered platform under a canopy of large trees, playing games, telling stories, preparing skits for the weekly talent show, partaking in devotions and much more. See a Mock Schedule of activities.

Middle School 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. See What to Pack.
