Christian Community Children's Camp (North America)

A Day At Camp



In the quiet of early morning, the counselors and staff silently gather around the tents and cabins of sleeping children. They begin to sing a song to the morning, to the awakening day, rousing the children from their slumber. From a wholesome breakfast to the quiet of evening and a story shared by candlelight, the children are provided an abundance of creative activity. Each gro

up's counselor strives to build a daily rhythm which will best serve the needs of the children. Artistic activities, such as plays and skits, painting, singing and storytelling are balanced with sports and games, swimming, boating and hiking. The children also put their imagination into their hands through various crafts. A quiet time after lunch adds a necessary touch to the pattern of the day. Sundays are a special day, beginning with a short religious service in the morning which all children attend. In the afternoon, campers and staff join together for a community festival such as Fair Day or the presentation of prepared plays or skits. With the Adventure Course and an evening bonfire camp draws to a close. The joy and laughter, the challenge of learning and sharing together creates a community experience that is special and unique, and which lives on throughout the year in the hearts and memories of each adult and child.
