Teen Week
Description
An overnight, residential camp for rising 11th graders through graduating seniors. Camp begins Sunday night and goes through Saturday morning.

Our Teen Week is one of a kind! During this 7-day, 6 night program, campers will have the opportunity for positive, co-ed interaction through being grouped in co-ed teams for some activities. Campers will work together to analyze problems and situations, thereby establishing personal standards of conduct based on God’s Word.

Highlights of the week include Tuesday Expedition Day, Camper/Staff volleyball and basketball games, the Thursday Event, and team competitions.

Expedition Day: Campers will choose from four options:

1 Hiking (and water hole) at Stone Mountain State Park
2) Biking on 17 miles of the scenic VA Creeper Trail (Those signing up for biking should be experienced riders and able to successfully and safely ride a bike.)
3) Moderate White Water Rafting on the Upper New River in West Virginia
4) Challenging White Water Rafting on the Lower New River in West Virginia.

We are confident that our co-ed, residential, Teen Week will train campers how to live like Christ in their communities and encourage them in their faith as they face the year ahead.
