Winter camp or Christmas at camp, is a time for campers, staff, and volunteers to come back together and reminisce about summer while they make new memories. 

Campers arrive on Friday evening and depart on Saturday evening after a fun filled day of crafts, games, and as many camp activities as the weather will allow. Campers stay overnight in cabins with volunteers from the summer who come back for the weekend. 

Past year’s events have included ornament making, white elephant gift exchange, worship, karaoke sing off, giant swing, cookie decorating, Christmas Olympics, and more. 

Friday check in at 6:30pm, evening snack, Saturday breakfast and lunch, Check out at 4:30pm on Saturday 

Winter camp is open to campers in 3rd through 12th grades (you do not need to have attended a summer program to attend in the winter camp). This is an overnight event.
