July 6 - 11
Is there a better or more fun way to facilitate friendships, responsibility, and an appreciation for the outdoors than an overnight camp?
Many long lasting friendships and meaningful memories are built at camp. Campers spend an entire week learning how to cook by campfire, how to identify animal tracks and wildlife and of course have fun! Campers choice to canoe, fish, learn archery, hike, swim, paint, and play all week long! Over the course of the week our programming instills a love for nature, the ability to work well with others, and the capability to attain personal best.
