Program Overviews

Traditional Camp (ages 7-14)

Our Traditional camp programs allow children to experience a wide variety of activities and adventures. These activities are used as tools to enhance a camper's self-esteem, confidence, and ability to interact with others. Children live in a cabin with 10 other children their own age.

They learn to live, eat, work, and play together in a positive Christian setting. Two well-qualified staff members live with the children and provide them with adult role models through out their stay. Our goal is for the boys and girls to leave camp having had fun, but more importantly, to leave feeling good about themselves, their accomplishments, and the friends they made during the week. Our Traditional camping programs; including Mini Camp, Climbers and Mountaineers are designed to offer a well-balanced program of activities to suit the interests and needs of all ages.

Camp Hanes offers a variety of teen programs to better suit our older and more mature campers. Teen Programs include Teen Camp for the camper that is ready for the next step at Traditional Camp; Adventure Trips for the teens that want to challenge themselves in a new environment away from camp; and our leadership programs, LIT and CIT, that offer teens the opportunity to learn and put into practice leadership skills with children and within their peer group.

Mini Camp (ages 6-9)

 

**Due to the winter weather and the extension of local school calendars, we have Rescheduled Mini Camp to Tuesday July 6- Friday July 9, 2010.** 

Mini camp is a program designed for first time campers looking for a successful experience away from home. Instead of the traditional week long experience, campers stay 4 days and 3 nights as the only campers at camp. The camper to staff ratio is increased to 1:3 and older campers are not allowed on camp during the experience. Our camp schedule is adapted to meet the individual needs of younger campers to match their interests. All activities are done in cabin groups and include an array of activities.
