For those completing 4th grade through Adults
Camp of the Heart: an autistic/mental retardation/Down’s Syndrome camp. This camp is designed for anyone with these types of disabilities! You will enjoy many different activities while at camp, including: games, singing, dancing, crafts, walks, nature, and a lot of fun. The camp will be in Michaux Lodge which is totally handicap accessible. We will have several volunteers on hand, but if you are willing to come with your loved one and if you think they will need your presence you may do so for only $25. Kara Druckenmiller, the director, is a certified special education teacher who has worked with handicapped people in many different environments. She will be looking at the needs of each individual and designing the camp to meet their needs so each individual is able to have a good time. To help in this process, please include with your registration a one page description of the individual: disability, independence level, medical needs, likes and dislikes and if someone will be staying with the individual. This experience will be a growing, enriching, spiritual experience for everyone involved! |
Open to all ages
A venture for either congregations or individuals to come together for an intergenerational experience of camping. Camps are usually 3 days long. Experience Wednesday evening’s all-camp vespers; share in Thursday’s all-camp picnic and talent show. Visit the craft shop, swimming pool, and nature center. Enjoy Bible studies, cookouts and campfires. |
An intergenerational experience (minimum age 5)
An opportunity to be “partners in creation” with that special someone in your family; to bridge the ages with a rich camp experience filled with fun and excitement – hiking, swimming, sitting around the campfire, singing, creating crafts. This can be a special and unique time to connect with grandchildren and introduce to them God’s creation. |
(minimum age 5)
This is not your “typical” Grandparent/Grandchild camp! Gail Landers, who is trained as a “Project Learning Tree” instructor, will involve campers in hands-on-nature knowledge building activities. You will really have an opportunity to be “partners in creation” with that special someone in your family; to bridge the ages with a rich camp experience filled with fun and excitement – hiking, swimming, sitting around the campfire, singing, creating crafts. You and your grandchildren will really begin to understand what it means to be good stewards of God’s world.
