Event Descriptions

SonShine

Join the Party

Entering Grades 1 – 2

Early elementary campers enjoy a taste of hiking, swimming, crafts and active learning in small groups under the caring and watchful eye of shepherds and leaders.

All activities and creative worship in this overnight camp are geared for this younger age-level. After this fun camping experience, children will want to return to camp year after year.

Important For SonShine Camps ONLY

Attention Adults: One SHEPHERD for every one to five campers from each church is REQUIRED. If you bring a male camper, you must provide a male shepherd. If you bring a female camper, you must provide a female shepherd.

Each adult must register in advance and submit to the full safety screening of the conference before being accepted as a shepherd. Contact your camp dean early to get the proper paperwork in process. Instructions for shepherd's responsibilities are provided with your confirmation letter.

If Shepherd to camper ratio (1:5) is exceeded per church, then additional Shepherd's must pay the camper rate.

This older elementary camp allows campers to fully participate in creative arts choices as they express their unique gifts.

Campers choose fine arts and movement classes they want to attend and then share these gifts of vocal music, instrumental music, drama, dance, etc as they lead and fully participate in creative worship.

The joy of active learning and expressions of God's gifts within each camper is the focus of this camp.

T'weens Discover

Got Spirit?
Finding God in the Everyday

Entering Grade 6

Acknowledging the uniqueness of pre-t'weens, this camp for rising sixth graders is designed to help t'weeners explore the concept that God is always with us.

In "Got Spirit" campers will explore different ways God reveals God's self to the human family, by affirming God's presence in the ordinary moments of life.

Not only will campers discover how God is found in daily scripture texts, they will experience the various ways that people of faith respond to the presence of God.

All within the beauty of creation and fun in each of our campsites.

Campers: $267

Early Bird: $247

available until 2 week before camp begins

Except for 2301 - $170/150
