Listed below are some of these opportunities. Campers arrive on a Sunday afternoon and go home on Thursday evening. The price includes lodging in summer cabins, fun-filled days, and hearty homemade camp meals. There will be canoeing, swimming, hiking, and participating in sports, crafts, recreation, and games. There also are campfires, snacks, and all the fun things you expect at camp.
Campers are responsible for their own transportation to and from camp.
A fundraiser each year helps support the program, so there is very little cost to the individuals. This trip is usually held for one week toward the end of June, however it does vary. We normally just send high school kids on the trip, although we have made exceptions for 7th and 8th graders who are mature enough, if there is room for more participants. Some of the activities that may be a part of this program are pizza parties, picnics, swimming, shopping, going to a ball game, and seeing historic landmarks or points of interest. This convention is full of workshops and fun for 14-19 year olds, held annually at the Renaissance Hotel in Springfield.
