Elementary Mini Overnight Camp
7-9 years old
Elementary Mini Overnight 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.This four day, three night camp is a fun introduction for our first-time or younger campers.
