PIONEERS July 19-23
For rising 5th-8th graders
Campers at this five-day, four-night session will sleep in teepee tents near the waterfront, cook some of their meals over an open fire, learn advanced canoeing skills, ride horses, and learn more about creation in sessions led by interpreters from Petit Jean State Park. They will also be able to try their hand at throwing tomahawks! For some campfires and meals Pioneers will join the Overcomers campers, whose session runs concurrently. The session is limited to the first 20 campers — 10 female and 10 male — registered.
Pathfinders June 28-July 1
For rising 2nd-4th graders
Campers at this four-day, three-night session enjoy nature walks, swimming, games, singing, crafts, archery, campfires and a trip to the petting zoo, along with simple Bible lessons. The staff works hard to ensure the children feel safe — and have loads of fun! The session is limited to the first 40 campers — 20 female and 20 male — registered.
Explorers June 21-26
For rising 4th-6th graders
In this weeklong session Explorers venture into Petit Jean State Park — canoeing on Lake Bailey and hiking Cedar Falls Trail. They enjoy swimming, games, archery, crafts, petting zoo and campfires. Bible studies are central to each day’s activities.
The session is limited to the first 48 campers — 24 female and 24 male — registered.
Trailblazers June 7-12
For rising 5th-8th graders
Along with all the other camp activities, Trailblazers have the opportunity to hit the trail on horseback (there is a fee for this optional activity). More in-depth Bible studies help middle school and junior high campers find answers to their emerging questions about faith and life. The session is limited to the first 48 campers — 24 female and 24 male — registered.
Voyagers July 5-10
For rising 7th-9th & 10th-12th graders
For older campers, this session includes a night swim, later campfires, and watching the sunrise over the Arkansas River Valley from Stout's Point. It also includes the "Godly Man" and "Godly Woman" sessions, where adult leaders engage their campers in frank talk about real issues facing teen-agers in our culture. Hiking, night games, canoeing and horseback riding all also part of the session. The session is limited to the first 40 campers — 20 female and 20 male — registered.
Adventure June 14-19
For rising 9th-12th graders and new graduates
Introduced in 2015, this popular session for senior high youth takes campers off the mountain for more intense adventures, including rock climbing, a river float trip and tent camping. They also venture into God’s Word to find answers to life’s perplexing questions. This session is limited to the first 25 campers registered.
Arts Camp July 12-17
For rising 5th-8th & 9th-12th graders
Arts Camp is a joint venture of Camp Trinity and the Little Rock School of the Arts. At Arts Camp, youth will experiment with visual, performance and literary arts as they explore God's Word to learn what it means to be created in the image of God, and how they reflect God's image when they create. The camp sessions end with an afternoon performance for parents and guests. The show includes a one-act play, a dance performance and an original musical piece composed and performed by the campers. There will also be an art exhibit and an anthology of campers' writing. Traditional camp activities — hiking, swimming, large-group games, campfires — are also part of the sessions. This session is limited to the first 40 campers — 20 males and 20 females — registered.
Overcomers Camp July 19-23
Youth ages 8-18
Overcomers Camp is designed for (but not restricted to) youth with disabilities. Campers will enjoy the same camp activities as in other sessions, but modified as needed to accommodate the special needs of campers. Activities includes hiking, swimming, canoeing, fishing and games. The session also includes daily Bible studies and campfires every evening. The camp has a limited number of spaces for parents to join their children. The session may be either overnight or day camp, depending on a camper's needs. Please call the Camp Trinity office to learn if your child's needs can be served at this session.
Family Camp July 24-26 & July 27-29
Because attendance at Family Camp reached capacity in 2019, two sessions of this session are scheduled in 2020, one over a weekend, the other during the week (Monday-Wednesday). Family Camp is open to all families but is designed especially for families with children too young to attend regular sessions of camp. The session provides an opportunity for children to enjoy camp with parents and grandparents participating to provide reassurance and help prevent homesickness. The session offers a sampling of regular camp activities: singing, swimming, hiking, canoeing, large group games, crafts, Bible study and campfires — with s'mores, of course! The activities are geared toward younger children, but entire families, including older siblings, are welcome. The camp has limited cabin availability, but families can also stay in RVs or tents (Camp Trinity can provide the tents) in our campground or offsite at a reduced cost for the weekend.
We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. 1 Thessalonians 1:2
