CAMP THEME AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

In today's world, kids know how to txt (text messaging), and are always looking for more ways to lol (laugh out loud).  Here at NHFC, we thought we'd put the two together, along with creating some bffl (best friends for life), through camp:tru. 

 

In this camp we will teach kids about how to follow God through all of life, the ups; as in ROFL, the downs, and the in-between. We will study one character from the bible the entire week and we think the kids and youth of NHFC will not only have an amazingly fun time, but will also learn a lot about God and how he interacts with us IRL!  

 

And of course we have expanded the night games (everyone's favorite activity), to some amazing, thrill-seeking, rack your brain times as well as other PANS!  It will be a camp to remember, don't miss it!

 

Jr. High & Elementary Camps

Two camps, one location.  Elementary and Jr. High campers will be separate the majority of camp with the exception of  Large Group activities, dinner, fun times, and Worship Time will be combined as well.  Other than those elements, the camps will run completely separate.  No Jr. Highers will be staying in the same rooms as Elementary age kids. 

 

Friends

This camp is designed to be a camp for kids of New Hope Family Church and their friends.  We encourage kids to invite a friend or two to join them, but also encourage them to make new friends at NHFC through camp!

 

Staff

We believe safety is of the utmost importance and therefore will be cautious when selecting camp staff.  All Camp staff and volunteers will be persons that have completed the Child Protection Plan Training, Background Check Process or that comply with the Child Protection Camp Addendum.  You may read these policies by clicking on the links on the right.  In addition there will be a camp staff training meeting prior to camp.

 

Meals

Each Cabin will be responsible to fix their own breakfast in the kitchens provided.  Oatmeal, Cereals, and/or Breads will be provided for breakfast.  Lunches and dinners will be provided by our camp cook in Bishop Carlson Lodge.

 

Activities

Possible activities include: Boating, Swimming, Playground, Beach on the lake,  Large fields for games, Campfires, and much more.  Of course we will also have many organized activities, games and competitions.  We also have indoor activities planned during portions of the afternoon due to heat.
