Camps Overview
MFC CAMPS OVERVIEW
Spring Alive ($110)
Spring Alive is the weekend-size teen camp! The first event of the summer camp season, enjoy a Friday and Saturday night at camp to spend time with friends. First time attending teen camp? This is a great introduction! Spring Alive is usually the first weekend of June.
Kids Camp ($300)
Expect it to be a week your child will not forget - it will be a highlight of their year! Many a new camper has arrived on Sunday afternoon with a little nervousness and found that within hours of meeting their fellow campers from their cabin (there are usually up to 8 campers per cabin) and their counselors (there are 2 counselors per cabin) they have begun to forge new friendships that have lasted for the week and well beyond as they enjoy the weeks’ program together.
Day Camp ($50)
The program runs from 9:30am – 3:30pm daily and is fun-filled and designed to bring enjoyment and lasting enrichment to the children - through Bible-based instruction - in a safe environment. There is a good mix of indoor and outdoor activities, led by caring staff.
In the morning there is first a short lesson from the Bible, often accompanied by some drama or audio-visual pieces, and opportunity for every child to sing their hearts out! The choruses they learn will be unforgettable, so expect to hear them around the home afterwards! Useful Bible verses are also memorized. Then there are crafts to be made, decorated and later brought home. Before lunch (at 11.30am) there will be a variety of sports activities or games, appropriate to the ages and abilities of the children. After lunch there is a quiet time with counselors and then a good, long time at our beach area, where some campers can swim at the pond under the supervision of qualified lifeguarding staff while others enjoy building sandcastles. Then it is back inside for a nourishing snack and then off to finish crafts begun in the morning, do some more singing and enjoy a wrap-up short talk before the adults arrive to reclaim their children.
Teen Camp ($325)
A great finish to the summer at Mount Forest Camp before heading back to school. Usually the last week of August, Teen Camp is for those turning 14 in the current year. Times of study and discussion together, praise, sports, activities and free time, finishing off with a campfire program at night.
