Ages 8-15 (4 sessions)

At St. George’s Camp, you can expect a fun and action-packed sleep-away camp experience with Christ at the center. All aspects of camp life model and teach campers how to create and celebrate that they are beloved members of the body of Christ, as are all God’s children. Living in cabins on the hillsides of Shrine Mont, campers are immersed in the wonders of the great outdoors. During the day, campers choose different activities based on interests and enjoy small group activities with their cabinmates.

Outside of structured activities, campers also have free time where enjoying each other's company and building community is the primary goal. At St G’s, seemingly ordinary daily activities like cleaning the cabin, singing on the walk to lunch, or exchanging the peace during worship, have a way of becoming extraordinary moments that leave a powerful impact on campers for the rest of their lives. Even the mystery of what the evening program will be each day adds a fun suspense and anticipation to the rhythm of life at St. G’s.

Since learning to build community is a hallmark of camp life at St. George's, the age ranges of campers are typically small by design in order to facilitate positive social interactions among campers in similar developmental stages. For just one session of St.George's however, session 1, the opposite approach is embraced by welcoming a large age spread of campers from 8-14 years olds. This mixed age model provides opportunity for great peer modeling for younger campers, cultivating compassion and empathy for campers of all ages, and leadership development for older campers. And on a practical level, the wide age range increases accessibility for families desiring to send multiple children to camp at the same time. During St. George's session 1, the 10 and 11 year olds will stay at the St. George's campsite, while the 8, 9, and 12-15 year olds will bunk at Woodward campsite. Campers will enjoy some activities each day in age-specific groups, while other parts of the daily programming will engage all campers as one mixed age camp. Campers at St. George's sessions 2, 3, and 4 will stay at the St. George's campsite.
