Resident (Overnight) Camp

Boys and girls, ages 7-18 (grades 2-12), arrive on Sunday and stay at camp overnight through Friday. Campers will be assigned to gender specific small groups of 5-8 children and live all week with an enthusiastic, dedicated, and trained cabin counselor. Campers will choose 3 activities for the week such as swimming, archery, and crafts. Some activities, such as horsemanship, and tree climbing are available for an extra fee.

Day Camp

Designed for ages 7-12 (grades 2-6) children who may not be ready for the overnight experience. Campers are assigned to cabin groups and participate in the same activities as resident campers. Children will meet their cabin counselor in the morning, join in camp day experiences, eat lunch with their cabin group, and go home each afternoon Monday through Friday.

Mini Camp (overnight)

Children join a cabin group Sunday through Wednesday at 5pm, with the option to stay for the whole week! This includes regular activity selection and a campfire cookout! All kinds of fun in only half the time!
