Classic camp experiences at Camp Appanoose are just that. They are timeless activities in the out of doors which ought to be a part of everyone’s memory.



Waking up to the sound of birds; eating a mouth watering breakfast at the beginning of an active day; enjoying being part of a group of friends and meeting a few new ones, learning to maneuver a canoe with a partner who is also learning; experiencing that special bond of horse and rider; trying your hand at archery or another target sport; finding that tossing a horseshoe is a surprisingly fun challenge; entering the dining hall toward the close of a great day and finding plenty of wonderful food; being uplifted in praise to God around the campfire; looking at life from a little different perspective; going to bed after spotting a fallen star or the Milky Way; falling asleep to the distant sound of a coyote or an owl. All of these are a sampling of what makes camp a classic experience.



Classis camps are for those who want a little bit of everything. Camp Appanoose offers three classic camp programs which are age specific. Except for Cowboy Camp, each program begins on Sunday afternoon and ends on Saturday morning.



Specialty camps combine great camp experiences with special opportunities for guys and girls who want to try something new or explore an interest which could lead to a lifetime of enjoyment, perhaps even a career. Skills are developed through the crosstraining of experienced professionals, with lots of fun and challenging activity. Evening activities include large group games and Bible Talk Time.
