Traditional Camp

Our week long Traditional Camp allows children to experience adventures in a safe, caring camp environment. Activities will enhance a camper's self esteem, confidence, and social skills.

Children will live in an 8-10 camper cabin with at least two well-trained, responsible staff leaders. A positive, Christian setting is provided for the campers at all times with their own age levels. Our goal is for campers to leave with a deeper understanding of their own potential and a new collection of life-long memories and friends.

"Awesome counselors, great activities, a lot of fun" -Climber Camper "Camp Hanes makes kids not miss home" -Parent "Its my favorite time of summer" -Climber Camper "Family tradition! Christian couldn’t wait to come back all year" -Parent

Climbers (ages 7-11)

Our largest group at camp is known as the Climbers. It is designed to expose children to all that camp has to offer. In small group cabins children make new friendships and participate in a well-structured program.

Mountaineers (ages 12-14)

A combination of a traditional daily schedule and age appropriate activities create an exciting experience for our older campers. The program is designed for established campers who have experienced the climbers program and are emotionally ready for more challenging experiences such as the Blob and mountain hike.
