Purpose
It is our purpose to offer a
comprehensive well-rounded resident camp where young people can become
all God created them to be and to encourage them to become exemplary
models of poised and capable adults. So important is this
training that
most of our campers return yearly. Safety and security for the
campers is of utmost importance to us.
Distinctly
Christian in outlook and philosophy, the camp allows campers from all
faiths to feel
comfortable as they learn of their Creator in the great outdoors.
Growing in knowledge of Him, these campers are becoming better
equipped to handle the continuing pressures of our world today.

Activities
Outdoor
activities for both boys and girls include canoeing, nature
hikes, courses in organized
games, and gun safety. Water safety will be taught in the
swimming and canoeing sessions. National Rifle Association awards
can be earned in the riflery classes. Archery is taught and
awarded according to the standards of the National Archery
Association.
Activities for our boys feature classes in wood lore,
instinct shooting, and woodworking. Young men may also
participate in "Tool Time," an activity in which they learn how to use
a variety of tools in everyday settings.
Tailored especially for our girls are sessions in personal grooming and
social graces which are designed to build self-esteem and
confidence. Arts and crafts, music classes, life skills, and
drama allow for full feminine expression.
Other
activities include Bible sharing times, campfires, singing, and lively
night activities which fill a busy schedule for seven days and seven
nights of fun and fellowship. Four meals a day prepared by The
Gospel's fine kitchen staff always highlight the day.

interested in seeing young people realize their full God-given
potential. Each staffer has been
thoroughly trained in order to provide a safe camping experience with
the highest quality of leadership.
