All of Us Camp
New this year!
A week for all ages!! This is
an opportunity for siblings to come to Claggett the same week.
Activities will differentiate based on age group.
High School aged participants will have leadership opportunities and
unique outreach projects. Look for new and varied activities for everyone!
Brothers and sisters in Christ will form a diverse community of peace.
Senior High Week
Recently the “biggest” week at Claggett, Senior High provides young adults
opportunities to develop leadership, to grow spiritually, to be part of an
accepting loving community and to discuss issues with their peers and
counselors.
Adventure Camps
At
Adventure camps a small group of ten participants with counselors take daily
adventures including hiking, canoeing & kayaking, swimming, ropes course and
trips. They sleep in platform tents in the woods of Claggett, shower in the
new pool house and form a close Christian community.
Participants must be able and willing to participate in strenuous physical
activities!
Mini Camp
Mini
Camp is for younger children to take a quick look at what Claggett is all
about! Campers experience most of the usual activities in a few fun-filled
days. An attentive staff gives youth more individual attention by
encouraging them to make friends in a secure environment and to try new
things while introducing them to community life at camp.
In 2008 third and fourth
graders can select Mini Camp or stay all week for Youth Camp.
Special Challenge
Week
This
unique program for adults with developmental disabilities provides the
participants with a relaxing and enjoyable vacation experience with choices
of activities including dances, chapel, canoeing, campfire, crafts, swimming
and MORE!
