The main focus of Junior Camp is to provide rising 3rd - 6th graders a place where they can experience meaningful relationships and a tight knit community in either the beautiful mountains of North Carolina or the lovely prairie country of Iowa, while they learn more about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our well qualified and highly trained summer staff go through a rigorous hiring process. We make sure they focus on developing relationships with the campers while mentoring and nurturing them in their personal relationship with the Lord. Great teaching is paired with fun and exciting games to provide an environment that teaches, yet also engages kids in a unique way.
