About Secondary Week...

Like Senior Week, the 13 and 14 year olds of Secondary Week help to create a powerfully spiritual week. The campfire is still the highlight of the day at camp; a special time when counselors and campers can enjoy intimate, quiet time with the Lord, praising Him in song and devotions.

Secondary Week campers attend hour-long Bible classes in the morning, centered around a common theme. Bible classes are followed by special group activities, including craft times, "story time with Mickey", a music moment, and guided group discussions with counselors and teachers. These group activities are valuable times of growth and togetherness when campers and counselors can share and learn on a casual level.

Campers sit at the same table at every meal, everyday in the mess hall, and these tables form teams to play softball, volleyball, washers and a non-sport activity with each other in Group Recreation. After Group Rec., campers have the chance to compete for trophies in a variety of individual sports and table competitions. For campers who don’t want to participate in such activities, this is a relaxing time to sit around and get to know each other. Many campers do a mixture of the two to make for a full and rewarding day.

Like the other weeks, much emphasis is placed on the importance of Bible study in a week-long Bible Bowl competition. Campers compete on teams and individually for trophies.

Mickey and his staff work hard to prepare what we pray will be a spiritually uplifting, encouraging and fun week.
