Winter Camp will take place at the same facility we have used for the past several years. It is a great facility with plenty of opportunities for new activities each year to allow us to experience the Zone in a fun winter environment. The facility offers many great activities for campers, including two indoor climbing walls and a full-size gym for volleyball and basketball. If there is enough snow there will be snowboarding, skiing and tubing. Additional activities include broomball, field sports, dance class, Bible class, two dances, an escape room, an amazing race, arts and crafts and team building activities. The activity schedule will include plenty of time for socializing.
The core of Winter Camp is built on fellowship, fun and friends, with a foundation of Bible classes and Christian living instruction specific for teens. Campers will enjoy building friendships with one another while having a great time at Winter Camp. We will again go off site for snowboarding with the oldest campers and we will have a selection of live performances from some campers during our final dance. There is no better way to spend your winter break than at camp with us!
Our facility has great dorms and the food is very good with a fresh salad bar for lunch and dinner. We will also have a s'mores night as well as hot chocolate throughout the week and snacks every evening.
