What is Closing Campfire?
Closing Campfire is our End-of-Camp Celebration that parents and guardians are invited to at the end of each camp. It's a time we share worship songs we've learned throughout the week, a summary of biblical truths we've learned throughout the week, and our campers and counselors share two main thoughts that sum up their camp experience with the rest of the celebration. We've love for you to join us before you pick up your camper to go home.

Things like weather do shift our schedule around daily so keep in mind it's not always as noted, but we do try to keep on schedule as much as possible.
