CAMPERS WITH FOOD ALLERGIES (Gluten, dairy, peanut, etc.)
Please send an email tojpregistrar@wol.org to receive information about allergy concerns. For campers with severe allergies, we suggest they bring their own food, as we cannot guarantee there will be no cross contamination. We will have a dedicated refrigerator & microwave for campers in which they may store any food they would like to bring that would help ensure they have enough of the right kind of food. Gluten-free items or a fresh salad may be available. Campers are encouraged to have their counselors check with the chefs concerning optional menu items at each meal.
SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS We are dedicated to seeing each of the young people who set foot on the property make life-changing decisions for Christ. Our goal is to see the campers accept Jesus Christ as Savior, grow closer in their relationships with Him, and demonstrate a desire to share their faith with others. Every element at camp is designed to point in one of these directions. Opening Night Rally: The Gospel is presented and an invitation is given. Morning Rallies: This is when the speaker of the week brings a powerful, engaging message built on a book of scripture or a study on the life of a biblical character. These are times of growth for both new believers and established Christians. Exciting dramas emphasizing the camp theme are presented during the junior camp weeks. Evening Rallies: These meetings are specifically geared toward preparing for and following the campfire dedication service. We believe that once one gives himself over to Christ, the next natural step is dedication. These rallies give practical steps toward living out this dedication. Campfire Service: On Wednesday night we have our campfire dedication service. During this time we share the gospel and give the campers an opportunity to dedicate their lives to Christ and to be used by Him – placing all they are, all they have, and all they ever hope to be under His control. This is a very special time for the entire camp. Closing Night Rally: During this rally we send them off with a message about staying true and strong to the things they were taught at camp and using those things to make a difference in the world around them. Daily Quiet Time: Campers are given a Quiet Time Diary to use during their time at camp – stressing the importance of a daily time with the Lord.
WEEKLY SCHEDULE We are hard at work preparing a program for this summer that will be exciting for each camper who joins us. While the final details of this program will not be laid down until just before camp, we can give you a general picture of what a typical day will look like. The following elements will be part of each day at camp: Breakfast: Every meal at camp is served buffet style and contains a variety of hot food, fruit, and cereal. Morning Rally: Each day one of our dynamic Bible teachers will open the Word in a practical way. Youth leaders, parents, and chaperones are welcome to attend any of the morning or evening rallies. Quiet Time: Each morning, campers and counselors will spend intentional time in God’s Word. Campers will be taught how to do an effective Quiet Time, the importance of Quiet Time, and will be helped in the formation of this important discipline. Morning Activity: Team competition will fill the remainder of the morning as the program team delivers games that are fun, engaging, and challenging. Lunch: (See Breakfast) Afternoon: Every afternoon is filled with numerous activities for the campers to enjoy. They may choose to play in sports tournaments, enjoy climbing tower, snack shack, climbing tower or camp store. For a full list of activities, see the “activities” section below. Dinner: (See Breakfast) Evening Rally: Each evening a pumped-up rally gets everyone excited about what it means to live for Christ as various speakers cover important topics such as salvation, dedication, and service. Great music, thought- provoking drama, and even some competition will complement the message. Night Activities: A flurry of activities is planned for the remainder of each evening. There will be team games or special events for camper participation. Then before lights out, each cabin will be led in devotions by one of their counselors, ending the day with God’s Word and prayer. CAMPER BEHAVIORAL POLICY We have four main rules at camp that help us ensure each camper is safe and has a great week at camp. Campers are expected to be at every scheduled event such as meals, meetings, and activities. Campers cannot bring any items we define as contraband. See the packing list below for examples of contraband. Campers are expected to refrain from any inappropriate physical contact with others. Campers will not engage in aggressive behavior (verbal or physical). We have a strict NO BULLYING policy. Campers may be sent home after the first instance of this behavior.
