EXPLORERS/ADVENTURERS Explorers (grades 2-4) Explorers Prime Explorers Prime is designed especially for first-time campers – a total camp experience in a small package. Under the care of counselors trained to manage the unique needs of young campers, Explorers will experience the joy of camp on a shorter stay away from home. It’s a first step toward a full week of residential camp. There is no shortage of swimming, games, crafts, worship, Bible study, campfire, and more! This program is designed to meet campers as they grow with life and faith lessons that will last throughout the year. June 11-14 (Sun-Wed) June 25-28 (Sun-Wed)
PL
Adventurers (grades 3-6) Adventurers Prime
Treehouse Adventures
Campers ready to experience a full week of residential camp are always looking for their next adventure. At Adventurers Prime, there’s never a dull moment, because there’s always something new and fantastic to do. Choose from these camp favorites: swimming, archery, night games, slip ‘n’ slide, and rockets. Even Bible study and worship have been turned on their heads. At the heart of the Prime Camp experience are highly trained and passionate counselors who want to have fun while helping everybody come to know the wonder of God.
A cabin 10 feet off the ground, hand-pumped water, food cooked over a fire – Treehouse Adventures takes camp to the next level. With the freedom from schedules, there’s no shortage of doing our own things, in our own way. Want to build a fort out of sticks? How about an entire village. Want to go canoeing? How about canoeing in a 20 foot canoe to your campsite. Want to play games? How about a water balloon battle throughout the entire woods. All this and more while you build community away from main camp while learning about survival skills, and creatively using the resources of God’s creation.
June 18-23 June 25-30 July 16-21

Video Game Adventures Got game? We don’t just play video games; we live the video games. Race, throw, shoot your way onto the leaderboard on the screen and in the woods by actually playing, deconstructing, and analyzing popular games while learning about our God. In this program’s second year, we’re going bigger and better than ever before – campers who love high action fun won’t want to miss this. Leaders: Jim and Jacob Dahl. July 23-28

Quest (grades 10-12)
Journeyers Prime
Staff-in-Training
Journeyers Prime promises camp the way you want it, with activity choices and extra freedoms to explore your world and your faith your way. Will you make your week about sports with swimming, gagaball, and archery? Or exploring nature with geocaching, biking, and fishing? How about a science week with stargazing, rocket launches, and consumable chemistry? Or perhaps a sampler with a mix of everything! Helping make your week awesome will be counselors who are excited about the things you’re excited about, sharing their experiences and knowledge and exploring together. Worship and Bible study experiences are focused on meeting you where you’re at in your faith journey. Journeyers Prime will be the highlight of your summer, where you’ll make lifelong friends and have lifechanging experiences.
Being a camp staff member has no parallels – helping others grow in their faith, leading fun activities, building a community of service minded young adults (and it looks great on any resume or college application). The Staff-in-Training experience is a two-week program for high school students interested in exploring what it means to be on summer camp staff. Spend the first week at camp learning the basics of camp leadership while interacting with other future camp leaders. Return to camp later in the summer to assist in a cabin with campers, practicing your newly learned skills first hand while being mentored by experienced camp staff.

Night Owl The high school event of the summer cannot be effectively described in one small paragraph. On the surface, Night Owl is about sleeping in and staying up late. Dig a little deeper and you find a community of people who are exploring and growing together, supporting each other in life and faith, all while having the most possible fun. Every camp activity gets bigger and better as you get older. Lifelong friends are made as we take deep dives into exploring faith and its connection to ourselves and the world around us. Simply put, you won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind experience. July 30-August 4

What happens when we are intentional about discovering God as a family? At family camp, take time to pray, explore, study and grow in faith as a family around a campfire, at the lake, playing games, making crafts, around a dining table, at worship, in the woods. Each family camp is led by experienced Event Directors who love camping almost as much as they love their families. Each week is unique, with a mix of activities to bring fun and faith development tailored to families of all types. 0-5 Discovery Camp

Pricing Recognizing that families have differing abilities to pay, we use a voluntary tiered pricing structure. This pricing does not influence the quality of the camp experience for any child attending camp, but it does help us to continue to provide excellent programs, staffing, and facilities. Although it is up to you to decide what you can afford to pay toward your child’s camp experience, please consider selecting the highest price your family is able to afford. By doing so, you’ll not only help to cover the true cost of running camp, but also protect every child’s opportunity to meet Christ at camp! (For families and individuals who would like to give beyond their tier’s pricing, we appreciate all donations! There is an option to make a monetary donation on our website.) Our tiered pricing is fully explained on our website under Summer Camp.

When you register for camp, think about inviting your friends to come with you. When you attend a 5-night camp and bring a new friend to camp, you can receive a $25 discount on your own camp registration. You could recruit up to 4 new friends for a total discount of $100. A new friend is someone who hasn’t attended one of our camps in the last 3 years. To receive the new friend discount, all registrations for you and your friends must come in together, in the same envelope. To register you and your friend(s) with our online registration, please contact the camp registrar at 608-837-3388 prior to registration. No refunds will be made for the bring-a-friend discount.
*A family is considered as no more than two adults and children under 18. We reserve the right to place large families into multiple rooms and assess additional fees if needed. Families and youth are eligible to apply for scholarships.
