Sleep Away Camps 2012


Adventurers Camp A week tailored to busy families, this camp accepts a wider age range then our Discovery and Explorer camps, allowing siblings to come the same week. Campers will bunk with other campers close to their age and activities for each cabin will be age appropriate, giving every camper an opportunity to experience all that Valaqua has to offer!

Discipleship and Service
NEW- PIT Crew Focussing on Discipleship and Service, campers in the Crew join us for two weeks and learn practical lessons in discipleship and service through task oriented duties. Crew members will complete vital tasks to camp operation and work together in a community of peers. Work with a community of teenagers, learn about yourself and God through creative daily devotions, and create a lasting legacy at Valaqua. As a team, you will receive mentoring and training from our dedicated PIT Crew leader and work on your leadership skills within the group. The Crew will also have opportunities to play together with a peak experience each week focussing on teambuilding and fun.

Discovery Camps offer campers an opportunity to experience a variety of camp activities together with their cabinmates. Campers are encouraged to learn about themselves, others, and God. Campers will build confidence, make friends and have a lot of fun! Discovery camps feature a wiener roast and swimming party down at the river and provide plenty of time for interaction as a cabin group. Discovery Camps also feature an over-evening where campers can enjoy cooking supper over the fire and spending time in the great outdoors before returning to their beds to sleep as an introduction to camping out. Discovery Camps are great for first time campers! NEW Not sure your child is ready for the sleep away experience? Try Discovery Days and experience the best Valaqua has to offer and make it home for bedtime!

Explorer Camps allow campers to branch out. Campers will spend time together as a camp community as they learn more about themselves, others and God. Campers are encouraged to try new things and explore the world around them. Explorer camps feature an over-nighter, where campers will make their way to one of Valaqua's beautiful overnighter spots, cook supper over the fire, and settle in for an night out in one of our new tipis!

Breakaway Camps are all about options! These camps provide teens with a multitude of choices and opportunities to build on individual strengths and developing long-lasting friendships. Learn to play guitar, explore you creative side in drama and look forward to a day in the mountains! There's plenty of choices, including all the old favorite activities you have always enjoyed.

Away Enjoy a weekend away. This weekend is tailor made for families. The kids get time away doing activities like archery, nature lessons, games, crafts, camp skills, canoeing, climbing wall, and sky swing (for those over 10) with our staff while parents have opportunities for coffee and visiting, a chance to scrapbook a page from the weekend, or a fishing trip on our river. Families get away together with singing and stories around the campfire, family talent night, and chapel times together. We serve great food and take care of the dishes! Families stay together in a cabin, the main lodge or bring an RV or trailer.
