Can I be a Camper One More Time?
We also welcome graduating Seniors to attend the 11th & 12th camp one last time as a camper before they go on to college or trade school.
The 3rd & 4th Camps The 3rd & 4th grade camp will make a trip for an afternoon of swimming. They will go on short hikes and enjoy fun and games each day along with morning chapel and evening campfire.
The 5th & 6th Camps will make a trip for a day of swimming. In addition a road trip to Red Fish Lake for a picnic, swimming and a day fun & games will be a highlight of this camp so bring your water toys.
The 7th & 8th Camps will make a trip into Ketchum for a fun day of Ice Skating. So if you have your own skates bring them to camp. If you're a novice you'll have fun laughing and holding onto your friends as you make your way around the shaded outdoor rink.
The 9th & 10th Camp will take a trip to Baldy Mountain. Campers will have a choice whether they would like to hike or take the ski lift to the top of the first ski resort in America
The 11th & 12th Camp will enjoy a full day of rafting. We'll head to Stanley where the White Cloud Rafting Adventure Company will take us on a rafting trip down the Salmon River. We'll stop mid-day for a Dutch-oven lunch, then back into the boats for more rafting and water fun.
Activity of the Day:
Monday: Is typically spent on campus with everyone getting to know one another through team building games.
Tuesday: We take a road trip for Swimming either to the YMCA or to Easley's swimming pool. Easley's pool is heated for the chilly days, while the YMCA is an indoor pool. If campers choose, they can just sit in the sun, read, and visit with friends.
Wednesday: We go to Red Fish Lake where campers swim, sun on the sandy beach, play games and just enjoy the great outdoors. Be sure to bring your camera on this trip as the Sawtooth Mountains surrounding the lake are spectacular. Wednesday evening is named "Wacky Wednesday" as everyone dresses up wacky and fun for dinner...bring your dress-up clothes.
Thursday: We explore the surrounding mountains with a picnic/hike. There are lots of photo opportunities as the wildflowers can be extremely beautiful on this hike. This is also cookout night for dinner; always a great meal. Campers can also take a group photo for their scrapbook at this time. Thursday night is also the funniest night of the week as it is skit/talent night. Cabins and individuals are encouraged to share their talents, creative skits, and humor.
Lodge time is each evening. It's filled with games, skits, singing, shared talents and lots of laughter.
Campfire is in a beautiful wooded setting where we have our evening chapel.
The cross atop of the mountain can be seen from the log seating at the campfire meadow. Often deer will stroll through just as millions of stars begin to appear in the night sky.
There is never a dull moment at Camp Sawtooth. Campers will live, worship, play and pray together as part of a Christian community all in the surrounding of God's awesome creation. Friendships and memories are made that will last a lifetime. |
