2027 Survivor Camp

Imagine being so attuned with God’s Creation that you can read the stories written on the landscape and hear Creation’s rhythm and songs. Campers will discover what it means to live close to Creation by learning and practicing skills of self-reliance. They will construct earth shelters, make fire primitively, learn to purify water, prepare wild plants for food, learn navigation skills and play awareness games as well as other favorite camp activities. Survivor Camp will reawaken your relationship with the Creator and creation!

(*Survivor Camp will be at Camp Mack (IN) where we’ll be joining with campers from Camp Mack and Camp Brethren Heights.*)

2027 Intermediate Camp

For campers who have finished grades 3-5:

We are looking forward to another great five days of camp activities at Intermediate Camp. This camp is in the middle between Elementary Camp where the camper comes with an adult family member, and the full seven day camps for middle school or senior high campers. Campers can look forward to an optional polar bear swim in the morning, learning camp songs (both silly and spiritual), doing crafts, and playing structured games as well as Gaga Ball and Six Square that are a favorite of many. Our theme this year is "Another Way" as we learn about alternative ways to relate to each other and the world during sessions, and times for devotions. We will have a cookout and a talent show. Intermediate Camp is a great place to come and make new friends that can last a lifetime.
