What is a
typical day at camp like?
Each day starts with a time of worship and Bible study which sets the tone for the
exciting fun and fellowship in each day. The activities are decided on by the group
as a whole. There are some pre-scheduled daily activities, such as swim time &
store and any specialty camp time, but the rest of the day is negotiated within the group.
For overnight camp there are special evening activities every night. |
