New Day Camp is for children who have at least one incarcerated parent. The camp is held at Cross Point Camp and begins at noon on Monday and ends following lunch on Friday. These children are the forgotten victims of crime and we help them experience a New Day.
We have worship twice daily. Children are divided into small groups for curriculum study and other activities. Each group has its own set of adult leaders. We attempt to staff the camp with one adult for every two children.
Curriculum is designed to address the special needs of this group of youngsters. We also have share groups where children can process together their hopes, dreams and difficulties that might impact them. Recreational activities include fishing, canoeing, swimming, basketball, hiking, shoreline hiking and board games. The older group participates in challenge course activities. The camp also offers arts, crafts and musical activities. The children receive all toiletry items, a teddy bear, backpack, Bible and a souvenir shirt. All bedding, towels and linens are furnished. Transportation is furnished from the children’s homes by local church volunteers.
