A week with volume.
Worship. Parables. Small groups. Service. Recreation. New people. Enough downtime to breathe. Then do it again.
The rhythm
Most days begin with breakfast and morning prayer or worship, move into curriculum and small groups, and then head outward for recreation, service, or another off-campus experience. Evenings slow down with devotions, snacks, and time with the people who have become your camp community.
The 2027 planning team is intentionally building more transition and decompression time into the week so younger adolescents and staff do not have to be “on” every minute.
Show up.
Check in, meet your people, get settled, open the theme, and launch the week with Wacky Olympics.
Serve + play.
Morning worship and learning, service projects in the Quad Cities, and recreation. The camp photo is planned for the morning.
Meet the neighborhood.
Interfaith learning, bowling, an off-campus meal, and recreation with the camp community.
Go big.
Morning faith formation, then a water-park / park afternoon and a Crossways tradition: Whitey’s Ice Cream.
Go live it.
Breakfast, worship and curriculum, packing, goodbyes, and departure at 11:00 a.m..
