ChrisKids is where the week-long

fun begins! Life becomes a joy-

ous celebration as we live, work,

and play together. We will look

to the Bible for examples of how

to live to be God’s children and

then explore the opportunities it

brings as we hike, swim, craft,

and fellowship around the campfire, and more. Housed on Agape

Hill, your family group will share many adventures and become

good friends as we practice living in Christ.

party, ultimate glow Frisbee, moonlight gladiator ball, campfires, in

swimming, and some of the Biblical recreations.

Grow together with Christ through

outdoor adventure. Being a Christian

often means stepping out of your

comfort zone and letting God take

control. Enjoy a day among the trees

as you challenge yourself on a high

ropes course. Take a thrilling trip

white water rafting down the Shenandoah or Potomac River near

Harper’s Ferry. We’ll even be partnering with Lester Zook and

WildGuyde Adventures LLC for a half-day caving adventure.

Nights will be spent in the NEW Adventure buildings where you

will enjoy the satisfaction of preparing a few of your own meals.

Assumption of Risk forms will be required for the 3 offsite adven-

tures. *These trips are not advised for individuals with an ex-

tremely sedentary lifestyle (low fitness or significant overweighted-

ness). See www.wildguyde.com for more info about our partner.

Looking for even more thrills than our Ad-

venture Quest offers? Kick it up a notch

with Mega Quest! We’ll trade in that high

ropes adventure for a day of actual climbing

at Waterfall Mountain with Wild Guyde Ad-

ventures LLC. Wild Guyde will help us con-

tinue the fun with a caving trip more intense

than the regular Adventure Quest program.

And you’ll round out your week with a

lengthy horseback trail ride at Fort Valley

Ranch. Assumption of Risk forms will be required for the 3 offsite

adventures. *These trips are not advised for individuals with an

extremely sedentary lifestyle (low fitness or significant overweight-

tion, and deepen one’s personal faith.

Some kids like to take it slow...and that’s OK! Start off with a bite-

sized portion of our ChrisKids program for middle or late elemen-

tary children. Choose the program for your camper’s grade and

decide if you’d like to be with us for the beginning or end of the

week. Some campers enjoy coming BOTH sessions during the

week, but also appreciate the 24 hours at home in the middle.


Embrace the flavor of old (but with

many of the comforts of home) in

this program! This program is de-

signed as a stepping stone for the

more rustic Adventure Quest pro-

gram. Pioneers will cook a few of

their meals around the campfire.

Positioned by the shower house, they’ll enjoy modern conven-

iences. They’ll even have the option to forego their bunk bed and

hang a hammock in the building for rest and sleep. They’ll do some

canoe paddling on the Overlook lake and a highlight of their week

will be a horse-back ride at a local stable.
