You’ll Notice Something Different
We all notice subtle changes in our kids over time.
Sometimes it’s small.
They used to love Pokémon.
Now they’re into something else.
Some changes we celebrate.
Some we’re not so sure about.
Most of the time, we don’t know exactly what shaped those changes. We just see the results.
Camp is different.
At the end of the week, you’ll likely notice something has shifted, and you’ll know exactly where that change came from.
How Summer Camp Builds Confidence
They’re not suddenly perfect.
But …
They may speak with a little more confidence.
They may show more patience with a sibling.
They may step into a challenge instead of stepping back.
They may apologize more quickly.
They may include someone instead of ignoring them.
Why Kids Return From Camp More connected to who they are
For 70 years, we’ve watched campers leave a little more compassionate, a little more resilient, a little more grounded in who they are.
They haven’t changed into someone else.
They are becoming more fully who God created them to be — more courageous, kind, and rooted in faith.
If you want to see that kind of change in your kid this summer, now is a great time to register. Sessions are filling quickly.
View available camp weeks and choose the one that fits your family best.
We’d love to welcome your camper.
