Explorer Camp Themes

What happens when you stand on the verge of something big? Your heart starts to beat rapidly; your body jumps in anticipation; your face lights up with excitement. The Verge camp is this experience over and over again. You could be on the verge of gliding down the iceberg, riding a horse for the first time, working your way through a challenge you have never encountered, or really knowing the Creator of the universe. If you are into excitement and enjoy facing new challenges, this is the camp for you. Here are just a few of the activities you will encounter:

*boating*flying off the lake catapult*swimming at the pool *horseback riding*

*sloshing through the slopstacle course*tackling a woods expedition*

*craft*digging into the Word of God*and much more! *

If you join us for Frontier camp, you will need to have an attitude of exploration. Do not plan to sit still–couch potatoes should just stay home. The week’s events will center on discovery. You will even travel to locations on camp property that the campers of old have never traveled or seen. If exploration is your passion, then this is the camp for you. As a group we will also explore God’s words in the Bible with a freshness like you haven’t encountered before. Here are some other fun activities you will be doing:

*exploring the camp frontier *boating*swimming at the pool*

*trekking through the creek*scaling the iceberg* finding the cousins to the big tree*

*riding a horse…solo*explorering God’s Word*and much more!*

How many of you remember the first time you stuck your head under water? Maybe you jumped in the water with confidence or with hesitation as you plugged your nose and slowly descended into the deep (with supervision, of course!) If you have not had your head under water yet, that is ok because we still want you involved. However, you need to know that if you come to this week you are guaranteed to get wet. Actually, soaked!! If you think water is our only way to complete the submerge process, you are wrong! You will need to be a part of the week to understand what we mean. We will look at the different areas in life where Jesus asks that we are submerged. If you come to this camp, you will be a part of the following:

*experiencing the great lake adventure*boating*swimming at the pool*

*scaling the iceberg* participating in the creek challenge*

*building a submarine*soaking in the Word of God*and much more!*

Children’s Camp Themes

This camp will be packed full of challenges and competitions that will stretch your mind, body and soul. Your skills and courage will be tested with extreme activities. Come and experience it for yourself. You will also be challenged by people who live the extreme life, having experienced the radical love of God. This camp will not disappoint.

If you enjoy your stay on dry land, this camp is not for you. This camp promises water everyday, all day. Carefully crafted water activities will keep you cool in the heat of the summer. You will also hear of the refreshingly cool love of God. Here are just a few of the activities awaiting you:

*tubing*swimming*luau*creek exploration*ultimate water event*

*slip shod slap dash*Everest challenge*canoe water polo*

*Water trampoline*horseback riding*canoeing*

*extreme water sports*soaking in the Word of God*and much more!*

 

The frontier has disappeared from the land of the fruited plain, and there is no longer a need to worry about your survival. If you choose to take part in this camp, you may experience the “wild west” of the new millennium. Activities will revolve around challenges that rivaled the old west. In order to provide extra involvement with the horses, you will steer away from the boating activities. While experiencing the wild activities planned during this week, you may more deeply appreciate the accurate accounts of the wild characters of the Bible.

*horsemanship training*trail rides*wilderness adventures*

*swimming*carnival*rodeo*pioneer challenge*canoeing*

*”The Gold Rush”*archery*creek exploration*iceberg*

*hoedown*explorering God’s Word*and much more!*

 

If you refuse to be content with the normal activities of camp, you may choose extra horse time by signing up for riding lessons or a breakfast trail ride. These bonus activities are $25.00 each , but they will be worth the investment. (Space is limited)

Going OVER The Edge—This camp is for someone who has been at camp for a number of years and wants the real camp experience. When you arrive at camp, you will need to transfer your supplies for the week into a backpack and hike to an area called OUTPOST. During OVER The Edge, you have the best of both worlds: The Outpost and The Edge camp experience. If you sign up for OVER The Edge, don’t worry about paintball as a bonus activity, because it is included in the regular schedule. You will spend most of your time on site, but will have the opportunity to experience an overnight trip packed with off-site adventure. The other days will be spent at The Edge camp providing interaction with main camp that could change your life. You don’t just climb the Tower, you learn how to belay and repel; your food isn’t always prepared for you, you will be making your own over an open fire; and you won’t be sleeping in cabins but in tents. Sign up now for this, because space is limited. *MUST BE 12 years of age or over . Things you may do during these weeks:

*canoeing*tower/zip line*high ropes*hiking*geo caching*

*pool time*archery*tubing*paintball*off-site trip*

*cook your own food*exploring God’s Word*and much more!*

The following themes are offered:

The Crux, The Undertow, and Reverb Camp

High School Themes

Life brings challenges that put us to the test. Some thrive on a challenge, and others turn to avoid it like the plague. If you like a challenge, then this camp is right for you. This camp will have a strong element of competition, and we encourage you to rally your friends to face this challenge. If you are the victor, you will have the bragging rights of a coveted prize. If you have enjoyed Extreme camp or The Edge, you need to consider The Crux. You can choose to sit at the computer this summer if you want, but you are going to miss out on the experience of a real life challenge. Your faith in God will be challenged to move across the crux. Expect the following activities:

*The Dyno Event*paintball*horseback riding*iceberg*tubing*high ropes*repelling*blob*

*and much, much more.*

On the beaches around the world, safety specialists warn swimmers not to get caught in the undertow. We encourage you to risk getting caught in Car’s version of the undertow. In the past, you may have been involved with Splash Camp, and although testing the waters of H2O camp desires your applause, neither camp will compare to being caught in The Undertow. You will need to bring your competitive spirit laced with good sportsmanship. This camp will offer a group dynamic that will exceed your expectations, so you’ll want to bring your friends. If you do, the celebration could be overwhelming. You do not want to miss out because your faith in God just might spill over into the rest of your world. Expect the following events:

*tubing*tower*chilling at the pool*climbing the iceberg*archery*

*The Deep Water Challenge**water polo*skiing (for the willing)*

*chapel times that will potentially saturate your life*and much more!*

sorry–no time for horses during this week

Some campers like the basics, and that is fine, but you will not find a basic camp the Carl way.  If you are not as competitive, you may want to try Reverb Camp.  Far from basic, Reverb offers a similar experience to Retro with a more mature approach. The camp will offer a coffee house feel with a glass of ice coffee on tap during The Gathering. We have invited the band Willet to join us for the week. Navigate to their website to meet the band. http://www.willetonline.com/ This camp offers a chance to chill with your friends while experiencing camp, Carl’s Way. The experience will create an environment that will deepen friendships while encouraging your relationship with Jesus Christ. Don’t worry, you’ll still be involved in your favorite camp activities:

*tubing on the lake*team building initiatives*horseback riding*

*climbing the tower*conquering the cat-walk*canoeing*

*archery*exploring the Word of God* and much more*

 

Senior high (boys and girls entering grades 10-12) $200.00

Those involved in STEPPING IT UP this past summer were challenged by the experience. If you are a sophomore or older, and interested in leadership, this is the camp for you.

High schoolers entering grades 10-12 who are following after Jesus and interested in really stepping up in leadership are invited to this camp. You will have opportunities to grow in your faith and to serve in may capacities around the camp. A discipleship/mentoring program has been designed with you in mind, and a team of college students is prepared to walk beside and encourage you for the summer.
