The Program
Whichever camp or camps you choose, you'll enjoy the many
recreational choices, YD's famous "Friendship Feast," memorable
music, and exciting outreach opportunities. You'll learn new
methods of getting into the Word for yourself, and find yourself
growing in ways you may not have expected-all while making friends
for life and eternity.
Several weeks before the beginning of camp, all registered
campers will be mailed a class descriptions list and selection
sheet.

TELEPHONE CALLS: We believe that camp should be
a place to make friends, enjoy nature, and learn about God. Because
of the distraction caused by phones, games, computers, media
players, etc., our policy requires these items be left home or
checked into camp customs for safekeeping. Campers are not allowed
to make or receive calls, however, if a camper has a genuine need
to place an approved call (i.e. family emergency), it will be done
in the camp office under the supervision of a counselor. Parents
are encouraged to send messages to their children via mail, e-mail,
or fax.
