(For children who have completed 3rd-6th grade)

 Highland Lakes' Preteen Camp offers a safe, exciting camping experience designed specifically for boys and girls who have completed 3rd-6th grade.  Preteen Camp exists to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ by presenting the gospel to those who have not trusted him for salvation and by exhorting those who belong to Jesus to grow in their relationship with the Savior. 

What Preteen Camp Is All about

The sole purpose of Preteen Camp is to glorify and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ.  He is worthy of all our worship, trust, and service.  Therefore, we seek to lift his name high by focusing on the following objectives:

n  Pointing children to Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 2:2)

n  Effectively communicating God's word (2 Timothy 3:16)

n  Encouraging children to worship (James 4:8)

n  Helping students experience spiritual intimacy (Galatians 6:2)

n  Challenging children to lead (1 Peter 4:10)

n  Supporting the local church (Galatians 6:10) 

Adult Counselor Requirements

Much is required of the adult counselor, demanding a physically fit, emotionally and spiritually mature person who relates well with children.   He/she is expected to serve as a family group leader and assist with the camp activities.  The adult counselor is an encourager, disciplinarian, dorm supervisor, and discussion leader.

Churches must send one (1) adult counselor for every eight (8) campers.  For every 8 girls there must be a female counselor and for every 8 boys, a male counselor.  Counselors are to be at least 19 years of age, are required to be housed with their campers, and are expected to assist in the camp activities.
