Exclusively for middle school campers, this camp will provide dynamic worship, enriching fellowship and awesome adventures. Campers will be able to choose their own activities (rafting, zip line, climbing wall, arts and crafts, and much more) to create a camp experience that will make it their best week ever.  Since this week is dedicated to middle school campers, there will be plenty of opportunity to connect and make new friends from all around the area.  In the midst of the daily adventures small group discussions and large group worship will be aimed at meeting the spiritual needs of these campers.

Best Week Ever

When the sun goes down the fun comes up for this nocturnal camp.  Campers turn to night owls and  stay up all night.  Traditional camp activities are modified to be done at night in addition to night games, campfires, and cooking over a fire.  This popular camp allows teens to experience fun, friends, and faith at all hours.

Late Night Adventure

Campers will learn basic horsemanship including grooming, saddling, bridling, and basic riding skills.  Trail rides will go on mountainous trails and along the C&O Canal towpath.  Campers will be at the ranch for 3 hours each day and will spend the rest of their time at camp enjoying traditional camp activities including a river trip, swimming, hiking, campfires, Bible study and worship. Campers will be split into groups based on grade level and riding ability.
