Activities include crafts, swimming, hiking, gaga-ball, archery, volleyball, basketball, music, drama, campfire, canoeing, fishing and more. Each day begins and ends with worship (small group and all camp). Morning keynotes and small group time bring Bible lessons to life in relevant ways for each age group. Afternoons are recreation time, when campers choose from a variety of structured and unstructured activities. After dinner it’s “all camp” activity time—Water Olympics, talent show, capture the flag, crazy relays, theme nights, prayer stations, camper award ceremonies... Your child’s health and safety is our first priority! Camp leaders are committed, caring volunteers. All camp staff receive a criminal background check and complete training on camp safety, in addition to general camp orientation. Our staff to camper ratio is typically 1:5, with a ratio of 1:4 at many of our younger camps. How to Register Regular resident camps are held at the Rickman Conference Center in Jefferson City, MO.
