The week at camp is lively, fun, friendly, and welcoming with plenty of activities but also free time to spend with friends or getting a moment alone. You will find kids and teens from a variety of nations and family backgrounds, most of whom identify with the TCK experience, but not all.

Upon arrival, campers are given their camp shirt and cabin number and are welcomed by their cabin counselor who will be looking after them through the week. The cabins are made up of kids of a similar age. Campers are also assigned a team made up of boys and girls of all ages, with whom they will play team games. The teams are each given a color and are rewarded points for games, team spirit, and exemplary behavior. There is a great atmosphere of friendly competition as both kids and counselors do their best for their team.

In the mornings we eat breakfast together, sing worship songs and split into age groups for the day's teaching. After that, the day is filled with team activities, afternoon workshops (such as music, dance, crafts, and rockclimbing), apologetics discussion group, optional swimming, and free time. After dinner we do various evening activities including worship nights, night games, movie night, and on Friday night a talent show and campfire. By pickup time on Saturday, you won't want to leave. After many hugs, tears, and signed camp t-shirts, campers leave for home looking forward to the next year.

This camp is a great place to make new friends. Many campers leave feeling like they have made friends for life because they are finally around others that get them and understand their story. The campers are very accepting and encouraging of one another, celebrating each other's gifts and interests and cheering on their teams, win or lose. Not only will you meet and spend time with the people in your cabin, but you'll get to know your team members and other kids through workshops and group activities.

That's ok. This camp is a great place for you to figure that out in a safe and friendly environment. Questions are welcomed. In fact, we even offer a specific time set apart every day for high-schoolers to bring and discuss any questions of faith and belief they are interested in. We always have very open, honest and meaningful conversations with no questions off limits. That's the kind of thing Jesus did. So while this is a Christian camp and everyone must attend all the group activities, including the worship times, there is no expectation that you have everything worked out. You're welcome, no matter the stage of the journey you're in.

The day starts with breakfast at 8:00, followed by morning worship and teaching. Team games take up the rest of the morning until lunch. The afternoon provides time for workshops, optional swimming and free time. We gather once again for afternoon worship beforen dinner. In the evenings we have night games, Just Dance tournaments, a movie night, and on the last night a talent show and campfires. Bed time is by age group between 21:30 and 23:30.

The camp is conducted in English, but many of the campers do not speak English as their first language. If a camper struggles with understanding, often their peers are able to help. But no translation is offered by the camp.

Yes! Partial scholarships are made available as donations allow. If the cost of camp is prohibitive for your family, please apply for a scholarship and we will do our best to help you. We aim to keep the cost of camp as low as possible to allow maximum participation. The camp is non-profit and all staff are volunteers who pay their own expenses.

Donate HERE to contribute to our scholarship fund, making a life-changing camp experience possible for cost-prohibited families.

Dropoff is between 15:00 and 17:00 on Sunday afternoon and pickup is between 9:00 and 10:00 on Saturday morning.
