Overview
Overnight camp is the ultimate camp experience for young people excited to immerse themselves in the camp community and spend time away from home for a full week! Our Open Age, Junior, and Intermediate programs are designed to offer age-appropriate programming, exciting challenges, and opportunities for leadership as our campers get older and return to camp year after year! Overnight campers sleep in same-gender cabins that fit up to 12 campers and have at least 2 staff members. Campers sleep on bunk beds. Washroom facilities are a walking distance away and we have a Porta Potty for night visits.
Campers are assigned to small activity groups with which they participate in typical camp activities. A regular day at camp starts with a dip in the pool and a hearty breakfast. Throughout the day, campers take part in small and large group activities. Through the week, outdoor adventures and friendships grow as lifetime memories are made.
Each week, campers go to Jordan Harbour for our Canoe Trip and each Overnight group is schedule for a session at our High Ropes Course. Each evening, campers take part in a camp-wide game, enjoy skits and songs at the campfire and receive tuck. At Intermediate Camp for ages 13-15, activities are elevated to the next level to match the interests of our older campers. Highlights include choice activities, night games and hiking to Balls Falls and camping at Balls Falls.

Faith Formation
Campers are introduced to faith in a new and exciting fashion. We recognize that children come from a variety of backgrounds and we strive to provide them with a safe environment to learn about faith. Children participate in daily sessions where they sing worship music, led by a worship band. They also watch an age-appropriate drama that runs the span of the week. After session, children take part in small group discussions and activities where they are encouraged to ask questions and recap what took place during the daily drama. Each day ends with vespers. During this time, campers are led in more worship and participate in skits about faith.
