Pioneer Camp is designed for campers entering grades 4-6. Campers stay in our Cabin Village and spend the week swimming and boating in our 5-acre lake, exploring trails, play games, learn crafts and of course, make new friends. NEW this year, we are giving each Pioneer camp a unique quality to help campers choose and for those who want to come several times during the summer to have some variety to their experience.

Planned into the week are times to worship and to learn more about God and the gifts He brings to each one of us. Using this summers theme, Keeping the Earth . Each camp spends time in Bible study and finds the theme of the day popping up  throughout the day.
