9-11 year olds

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 350 ft. lake zipline.

Elementary Resident campers will enjoy many on-site activities including boating, bouldering wall, arts and crafts, water games, swimming, hiking, low elements challenge course, outdoor cooking, campfires, talent shows and more. See a Sample Schedule of events.

Resident camps are organized in family groups. For Elementary Resident Camp, each family group typically consists of 6-9 boys and 6-9 girls with a male and female counselor. This type of structure promotes strong camper-to-camper and camper-to-staff relationships. Family groups participate in all activities and meals together and are housed separately by gender in bunk style cabins or lodges. Depending on registration numbers, some family groups are single-gendered. Family groups are organized by camper age and cabin mate requests within the Elementary Resident program.
