What is SUPER CAMP?

“Super Camp” is what we call the THIRD WEEK OF JUNE at Emmanuel Pines Camp.  It’s “SUPER”  for a lot of different reasons!  During the week, we run three somewhat separate age-level camp sessions in one beautiful camp setting.  Each age level (Young Juniors, Juniors, and Junior High) have their own lodges and meeting areas.  They have their own camp programs led by their Camp Dean and counselors. During afternoon activity times, they share rotations to the games, crafts and recreation sites with the other age groups, but stay primarily with their own age-level groups.

The camps do come together for meals and at times for worship.  During the beginning of the week, when the Young Junior Camp is in session, we hold the inter-camp super game activity where we mix up the age groups in teams and share in fun, goofy games and competition designed to bring out the gifts and talents of all the ages!  Super Camp is SUPER because of its activities, its great diversity, its cooperative spirit, its fabulous counselors, and its boundless energy! Plus, for first-time campers who may be a bit timid, it’s a great opportunity to come to camp with older siblings or friends from church. (Parents report it’s a great time for them, too! J

It is VERY IMPORTANT, however, that campers register for their appropriate age-level camp.  The three “transitional” ages, incoming 4th graders, 6th graders, and 9th graders, may have unique needs or preferences of camp sessions based on their emotional, social, and physical maturity levels, and camp experience. 

Please contact Barb Doerrer-Peacock, Camp Coordinator, to consult about which camp might be best for your child and space availability.
