This summer we are offering a new “mini” camp - A Taste of Camp - and 3 one week sessions.
A Taste of Camp is for our youngest campers - ages 6-8 years (rising 1st-3rd graders).

Full Sessions:

Week 1 June 8-14 for rising 3rd through 7th graders;
Week 2 June 15-21 for rising 3rd through 12th graders;
Week 3 June 22-28 is Teen Week – rising 8th through 12 graders.

At Camp All Saints safety is our top priority for your child(ren). Whether it be at the waterfront, climbing high to enjoy the big swing, hiking in the wilderness with all God's creatures, hanging out around the campfire, or slumber time in their cabin, we want you to know the safety of your child will always be our top focus. In addition to thorough background checks, our staff will go through extensive training on issues posing safety threats to our children and subsequent safety practices and procedures.

Age groups - Elementary vs Middle School vs High School - will be separate for all activities except for morning worship, dining, and to some extent evening activities. We are aware of concerns regarding having all ages assembled for the same week of camp and are taking serious precautions to ensure everyone’s safety. We consider last year to be a success in ministering to the various age groups at the same time.

Checkin:

A Taste of Camp: Campers will arrive on Thursday, June 5 between 1:00PM - 2:00PM. They will check in, go through a brief health screening, obtain cabin assignments, take their belongings to their cabins, and meet their cabin counselors.

**Parents attending A Taste of Camp will follow the same procedures.

Full Weeks Sessions:
Campers can checkin between 3:00PM - 5:00PM on the Sunday of their respective session. They will check in, go through a brief health screening, deposit money with the camp store, obtain cabin assignments, take their belongings to their cabins, and meet their cabin counselors.

Upon arriving at camp, campers will be given their cabin assignments and unload their luggage. We will be conducting swim tests to determine who is eligible to partake in our water activities. Please know ahead of time, some campers WILL NOT PASS the swim test. We have to make sure your camper is a strong enough swimmer to handle lake swimming. Not passing the swim test will not prevent or preclude your camper from having fun in the water. It just means they will be required to wear an approved life jacket AT ALL TIMES while in the water. They also will not be able to swim in the “deeper” area of the swimming area. EVERYONE will be required to wear life jackets while canoeing or kayaking.

Departing:

A Taste of Camp: Campers (and parents) will depart on Friday, June 6 at 3:00PM.

Full Weeks Sessions:
Check out will begin around 11:30AM on the Saturday of their respective session.
The concluding activity for each week is a Eucharist on Saturday morning beginning at 10:00AM. Parents/guardians are invited to attend this service.

Check out will begin at the conclusion of the service (around 11:30). Campers will be able to return to their cabins and claim their luggage which will be on the front porch of their cabin. Once campers are checked out by their cabin counselors accompanied by their parent(s), they are free to leave campus unless they need to collect medications from our nurse. In that case, campers and parents will visit the Health Lodge to collect medications.

Prior to camp, parents will have an opportunity to participate in a parent meeting via Zoom. Three (3) meetings will be held prior to the first session of camp – see details below. The purpose of these meetings will be to address logistics (scheduling, cabin assignments, handling behaviors), safety protocols, and answer questions not previously addressed. Please send Deacon Katie an email at if you would like to participate in this meeting.
