Summer 2008: A Super-Natural Experience
Discover the Creator through his Creation! Summer 2008 will focus on the super natural elements that surround us as we enjoy the great outdoors. We’ll also learn about the supernatural from the Bible as God reveals himself in an all-powerful way. From our traditional sleep-away camps: Adventure, Journey, and Quest to our specialty camps: Day, Swim, and Horse each exciting program is designed to offer your camper a super-natural experience this summer!
Each summer, Rhodes Grove offers various weeks of exciting youth camping opportunities for campers ranging from 2nd grade through high school. Camps are determined by grades entering in the fall. All of our camps include Bible studies and devotional times designed to help campers get to know God better.

Alpine Tower
Have you tried it? As an optional activity, Journey and Quest campers are invited to climb the 50 foot wooden tower. Stretch yourself as you learn teamwork, trust, cooperation, and communication skills. Is it safe? Only certified equipment is used, trained staff lead the sessions, and campers are harnessed in case of a fall. Is it fun? Of course! Over 30 different climbing route variations are possible. Why else would we have to limit the number to 24 campers per week?! Take the Alpine Tower challenge! Be sure to complete the Alpine Tower Liability Release Form.

Campership Funds
We understand that not everyone can afford to come to camp. Each summer Rhodes Grove challenges hundreds of campers to grow closer to God and we don't want anyone to be left out of the experience. We maintain a Campership Fund to help families send their kids to camp. If you would like information on receiving Campership funds please contact us before the registration deadline. We'll mail an application to your home or you may download the application. |
