Junior High Adventure Equestrian 8

August 5-10, 2012

 

August 5-10 (Sun-Fri) for rising 7th-9th graders:

Adventure Camps are for active youth who are comfortable living out-of-doors and ready for the next level of camp adventure.  You will truly live as a Christian body in a co-ed family unit of 6-12 campers with 2-4 counselors in one of our creek-side Adventure Villages located in our vast and beautiful riparian forest.  Each A.V. includes a boys’ hut, a girls’ hut and your dining shelter with fire circle, all by the clean waters of Wilson Creek.  You’ll eat most meals in the Ark, swim in the pool, sleep on bunk beds with mattresses and personal screening, attend all-camp events, and have access to all the amenities of the camp including bathhouses.  The highlight of your week is our Adventure outings (see description below).  Plus, we still get all the regular camp activities listed for Jr High Resident Camp including group games, nature, crafts, music and singing, campfire vespers, swimming, low-ropes group challenges, creek-play, Home-in-the-Woods camping skills, hiking the camp trails and a singing hike to Horseshoe Bend, orienteering and geocaching, unit-participation vespers and Morning Watch, Bible study, polar bear swims, night activities, special all-camp programs and a day on the high ropes course!  This is a great week of spiritual development, fun and adventure; exploring your extraordinary faith journey and discovering the Treasures of the Kingdom.  A specific letter and gear guide will follow your sign-up.  Limit 12 campers per program.  By May 1 = $340; after May 1 = $390.
