Summer Camping Program

Our goals for the summer camping program and for the off-season events are:

To Invite the lost camper to believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as Lord and Savior.
To Encourage the believing camper and staffer to grow in his faith in Christ through disciplined prayer and Bible study.
To Demonstrate the personal call of Christ in the life and work of each staffer.
To Lead each camper and staffer to search for God’s will in his life.
To Motivate each camper and staffer to appreciate himself as God has made him using the talents and skills God has given him.
To Help each camper and staffer to understand that he needs to become personally involved in missions through opportunities in his church, his Baptist Student Union organization and in common everyday life experiences.

Summer Camp Policies

Campers are expected to remain at Central Hills for the entire camp session.
Campers and parents are asked to cooperate with camp personnel regarding living area assignments. Campers are assigned according to age division and, if possible, according to bunk mate choice.
The counselor will supervise and guide the chapter group as a unit at all times from registration on Monday until the camper leaves on Friday after lunch. Campers should not be absent from their chapter group at any time without the permission of their counselor.
Campers are expected to cooperate with corrective measures deemed necessary by the counselor and/or activity instructor. Corrective measures will never involve physical contact, emotional, or verbal abuse. The counselor will be able to consult with the program assistant regarding any matter. When serious problems arise, they will consult with the camp manager/director.
Campers are expected to cooperate with the counselor and the counselor’s chapter mate in his living area. It is necessary for the campers to work together.
When requested to do so, parents are expected to pick up a camper in the event of serious disciplinary problems.
