Most camp days begin around 7:30 a.m. and end about 10 p.m. or later.   There will be 3 well balanced meals and 2 canteen times (drinks at both times; one will also include a snack) are provided each day.  Our camp store will also be open periodically during the day where other snacks and supplies can be purchased.  Purchases can be made in the camp store (Trading Post) with cash, check, or credit/debit cards.  If you think your child may have trouble keeping up with cash during the week, you should make arrangements with their counselors to have them keep their money safe.  You might also consider purchasing a VISA gift card and write their name on the card with a permanent marker. Each day will be filled with activities, sports, Bible study, singing, swimming, and more.

Indian Creek Youth Camp is a “Christian” camp. Campers will receive religious instruction during each session.  Our curricula are taken directly from the Bible, not from any “denominational” creed or doctrine.  Campers are ONLY presented information and are not “pressured” by teachers, counselors, or staff to make religious decisions or commitments.  In those situations, we will make every attempt to contact parents/guardians prior to proceeding.
