Winter camp or Christmas at camp, is a time for campers, staff, and volunteers to come back together and reminisce about summer while they make new memories.
Campers arrive on Friday and depart on Saturday evening after a fun filled day of crafts, games, and as many camp activities as the weather will allow. Campers stay overnight in cabins with volunteers from the summer who come back for the weekend.
Past year’s events have included ornament making, white elephant gift exchange, worship, karaoke sing off, giant swing, cookie decorating, Christmas Olympics, and more.
Winter camp is open to campers in 3rd through 12th grades (you do not need to have attended a summer program to attend in the winter).
In our online registration system – Please be sure you choose your camper, select the session they want (enrolled status), then pay the required deposit (Registered status). A space for your camper will not be guaranteed until deposit/payment is made.
