Summer Camp 2021

Abide

Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit.   John 15:5

​

A year like we've been through, with the pandemic and societal upheaval, may have shaken the faith of many young believers. But, despite the disruptions in our lives and culture, God has not changed. Christ still abides in us. In Bible studies and campfire messages this summer, campers will be reminded of the abiding love of Christ, whose faithfulness to His children never wavers. And they will learn what it means to abide in Christ, to stand strong in the faith amid the turmoil of life through the power of the Holy Spirit.

voyagers

For rising 7th-9th & 10th-12th graders & new graduates

For older campers, this  session will include overnight camping, a night swim, later campfires, and watching the sunrise over the Arkansas River Valley from Stout's Point.

Hiking, night games, canoeing and horseback riding all also part of the session. This session is limited to 36 campers.

PIONEERS

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 registered.

Adventure

For rising 9th-12th graders and new graduates

High school students will leave the mountain for more intense adventures -- a river float trip, tent camping and rock climbing. They will also search God's Word for answers to life's tough questions. This session is limited to the first 24 campers registered.

Arts

For rising 5th-8th & 9th-12th graders

In addition to traditional camp activities, campoers will explore the arts: drawing, sculpture, drama, singing and songwriting. More in-depth Bible studies help middle school and junior high campers learn more about what it means to live a life of faith. The session, which will be in conjunction with Overcomers Camp, is limited to the first 16 campers registered.

Overcomers Camp

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

Two sessions of this session are scheduled in 2021, both on weekends to make it more convenient for working parents. 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
