Explorers (Entering Grades 1-5)

Faith, Fun, and Friends!

Our Explorer program is designed for our youngest campers, entering grades 1-5. We’re committed to creating a safe and engaging experience for every Explorer, ensuring that each camper is surrounded by new friends and attentive counselors who will guide them through their daily schedule.

They’ll quickly develop their self-confidence as they learn foundational truths of God’s story, and build friendships that often last a lifetime!

Take a peek at a day in the life of an Explorer camper!

Camp Friends are the Best Friends!

Some of the friends your camper will make are our exceptional counselors! These college-age leaders serve as loving role models, showing kindness and compassion as they help even the most timid campers realize they can survive and thrive away from the comforts and routines of home. Campers gain valuable social skills by being immersed in an environment where community is forged.

“My child has been able to grow and learn in a safe, Christian environment where she feels loved and accepted for who she is. The counselors are excellent role models and she looks forward to keeping up with them and her new friends after camp.” – Camper Parent
