GET ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS!
New name and new opportunity. We don’t want to limit your ministry efforts. Confirmation Camp (junior high) doesn’t work for many churches and opportunities for younger children/youth hasn’t existed. If your church has participated in our Faith Works Camp we invite you to our new Team Camp!
Preteens love challenge and exploration! Gathering your preteens for summer camp will pay dividends throughout your ministry year. By starting younger, you energize fellowship within your family ministry that should carry forward into youth ministry.
ABSOLUTELY! Junior highers crave socializing; and when it is within a Christian community,
surrounded by other children, youth and their young adult counselors – a summer camp can be an inspiring and life-changing time in their lives.
Another great option is to bring your high school youth! Keep the community strong with a great week of connecting the Word of God with the world of God.
When at least one adult joins the group – it is powerful. We encourage you to have a caring adult (pastor, youth director, congregational mentor) journey with your children or youth. However, we realize that may not work for every church. Our trained summer counselors and other staff can lead your group even if an adult from your church isn’t available. For most weeks, hotel-quality housing is available in our Freedom Tree Village so adults do not need to stay overnight with their group. Campers stay in our Retreat Cabins with bathrooms, bunks and A/C.
*We offer 1 free adult with every 8 children/youth you register. The free adult stays in the Retreat Cabin with the group but optional hotel-style housing in Freedom Tree Village may be available.
It may work better to bring different age-groups on different weeks. Again, your church has its own unique needs; so if you feel that bringing a mix of 3rd-12th graders will work for your church, we’ll work with you to make the week a fantastic faith journey.
Serve others, laugh, pray, hike, sing, play gaga ball, canoe, explore scripture, listen, grow, be inspired, engage in team building, make a friendship bracelet, eat lots of great food, stare into a campfire, spot a frog/turkey/deer/turkey vulture, dance, be in awe of nature, hear stories of faith, worship, play human Foosball, swim in the pool, sing up a summer staff person, share a cabin with friends, make new friends, build up the body of Christ, grow and mature. Immersed in faith!
2022 Scripture Focus:
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.” -Philippians 4:4
We will dive into the book of Philippians, which is one of the Apostle Paul’s most joyful letters to the church of Philippi. While imprisoned, Paul writes about topics of friendship, contentment, thanksgiving, peace, joy, unity, spiritual growth, perseverance, and the certainty of answered prayer. We will examine these topics and discover ways we can be joyful in all circumstances.
We will also work on helping your team build a stronger community through various team-building activities, worship, small group discussions, and spending time in God’s awesome creation!
Summer staff are trained each year which includes first aid and CPR/AED training. The pool is led by a lifeguard and our Health Center is staffed with an onsite staff person. Safety is crucial to any classroom, family, sports team and retreat center. We maintain safe ratios of campers to counselors and follow strict guidelines and protocols for camper safety.
We are flexible with your group’s schedule. If your pastor/adult leader wants to lead Bible study or do an activity we’ll make sure your group has congregation time. Our church groups through the years have their own traditions from: working on sharing their faith at the end of the week, planning a special worship time with Holy Communion, have a pizza party and more. We will work with your needs!
