Description

Christian Heights’ programs include a summer youth camp, a family Memorial Day Work Weekend, a Fall Foliage Frolic for families, and a family winter Snow Party. Each year the camp operates its youth camp program for two weeks in July. The staff is comprised of volunteers who are followers of Jesus. The camp’s chapel time, Bible classes, devotionals, campfires and other activities are centered around a theme based on scripture.  Some campers have a solid grounding from family and church in the Christian faith; others come with little or no such commitment.  It is the constant goal of CHC to provide an environment where the Good News of God’s love is evident in the actions of the staff.  Kids are encouraged to grow their trust in God and the staff views its mission as that of a sower who plants seeds of truth in love.Camp typically begins the day with a bugle call to get up, though many rise at the crack of dawn.  After breakfast and clean-up, morning activities include chapel, Bible study and a large group sports activity.  Following lunch, different age groups rotate through swimming, arts and crafts, sports and shower/rest periods.  A favorite time is snack time at the Canteen.  After supper, a short activity period precedes campfire time with ‘fun songs’ and praise songs.  At least once a week camp goes on an overnight sleep out in the woods, weather permitting, with girls at one campsite and boys at another. 


         Because camping is a time of group activities and reflecting on God’s goodness, campers are not to bring electronic gadgets with them.  No campers are allowed to have cell phones, computers, iPods, radios, CD players, etc.  All campers and their parents will sign a behavior agreement at the time of registration.The Draper Memorial Building is used for recreation, cooking and dining, arts and crafts, classes and chapel.  Shepherd’s Staff is the nurse’s quarter, infirmary, isolation room, registration and meeting room on the upper level with showers, toilets and utilities on the lower level.  A newly constructed staff sleeping area is named the Stable.  There are three boys’ bunkhouses on the hill: the Tallman, Varney and Clarke cabins with a sleeping capacity of 13 each.  The three girls’ cabins, the Montgomery, Brown and Hewitt, can hold a total of 51.  Currently, camp can accept a maximum of 33 boys and 43 girls.
