What is a Christian Camp?<\/h4>\n

Christian camp welcomes everyone and treats each individual as a precious, unique and loved child of God. A Christian Camp desires that God\u2019s presence permeate everything that takes place. Campers explore the wonder and beauty of nature and in doing so, they begin to understand the character of God the creator. We learn that we cannot earn God\u2019s love but it is offered to each of us as an undeserved gift of grace.<\/p>\n

Christian camp counsellors desire to model the fruits of God\u2019s spirit (love, joy, peace patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control). Every day offers opportunities to put faith into action. Campers learn through doing, hearing, exploring and reflecting. Through the stories of biblical characters re-told and re-enacted, we recognize age-long human struggles and see God\u2018s desire to intervene and transform everyday situations.<\/p>\n

Through the traditional activities of camp, such as rope challenges, archery, hiking, swimming and canoeing, we safely explore the joy of mastering new skills and abilities. Activities are designed to be accomplished through support and encouragement to one another, demonstrating what it is to be part of a Christian community.<\/p>\n

Our prayer is for campers to return home confident of God\u2019s presence, supported with resources to grow in faith, and strengthened to face life\u2019s joys and challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
