Campers enjoy awesome activities, incredible counselors and opportunities to grow in Christ.  Whether in our amazing cabins, creekside activities, evening campfire and outdoor space, you can always find a way to cool off from the heat.  In between family groups, campers experience a wonderful array of worship, music, food, nature, and other activities

 

Senior High Camp

Week 3

Grades 9 - Graduating Senior

Designed for 9th – 12th grade students, this camp features counselors any high schooler will actually find interesting, along with amazing dance parties, and an opportunity to grow closer to God.  At this camp, we say things like campfire, team building, and pool dunking. So that when your high schooler leaves, they’ll say things like, “God is great!” ...or our personal favorite, “Best experience of my life!”

Creekside

Nature Camp

Week 4

Dates:

N/A

Grades 6 - 8 

From canyons to sea, campers will be in awe of God's creation 

during this week-long exploration of the ecosystems located right here in Southern Orange County! Campers begin their week with team building and Mythbuster-styled activities. Campers explore the ecosystems with a visit to the tide pools at Dana Point and a marine mammal cruise. With campfires, explorations, journaling and reflection, as well as stories to learn and share, why wouldn’t you want to come explore nature’s wonders?

Safety:

All staff members who lead activities are trained and verified in their proficiency. All camps have a Certified Health Supervisor or Registered Nurse on site for the duration of the program. Many camp staff are First Aid & CPR Certified. All lifeguards hold a current LG certification from the Red Cross.

Housing:

Campers stay in cabins that are grouped by gender.  In the event of a gender non-conforming camper or counselor, that person is placed according to the gender they identify with or their biological gender--dependent on which they prefer. Parents of campers in the shared lodging are informed ahead of time and given the option to switch cabins if they desire.  There are typically at least two counselors in every cabin. 

Supervision:

We maintain a minimum ratio of at least 1 staff person to 7 campers, according to ACA standards. Usually, we operate at a 1:4 ratio. Campers are supervised at all times, according to their age group.

Meals:

3 well balanced meals and 2 snacks are served every full day of camp. Healthy alternative options are always available, including a deluxe salad bar, soup, and other choices. When you include dietary restriction information on your campers' health forms, our kitchen can prepare appropriate alternatives.
