Will my child be taught a Christian program at camp?
The short answer is Yes.
This FAQ is from the Holiday Programs Management Plan section 9
Our vision is “to be life changing every time” and our mission is “To provide campers with a world class adventure camp, showcasing the love of Jesus and the beauty of God’s creation”. During our holiday program, we aim to achieve this by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible with all our guests.
Our program is based on participation, even if it means passive participation, such as being present but not actively joining in. Therefore, during chapel time, all campers and leaders will be present to ensure the safety and well-being of all children.
The chapel time talks are focused on age-appropriate topics that explain the Bible and give children a new perspective on life, spirituality, and their creation in God’s image. We take great care to ensure that all our interactions with the children, including the chapel times, are delivered in a way that is easy to understand and digest and the topics covered are age appropriate.
We aim to create a pressure-free environment where no one feels compelled to participate in any activities or discussions through peer pressure or emotional manipulation. Although we are passionate about adventure and fun activities, we are also passionate Christians who love to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone. Our holiday program is designed to provide an exciting and enjoyable adventure while also allowing us to share our faith.
