CHILDREN’S CAMP 2020
This year we’re celebrating 23 years of fun and reverence in the outdoors! Camp Greenwood Lake (formerly the Midwest Christian Community Camp for Children) is a summer camp for children ages 8 - 13 based on the European model that has been in existence since the 1950s. While the flavor is distinctly American, we are proud to continue the original camps’ mission to provide children an escape from the buzz of everyday life, a retreat into nature and the natural rhythms of the day and night. Together we sing, tell stories, and create beautiful projects - swim, canoe, and build bonfires - joke, play, and celebrate with the Children’s Service on Sundays. Campers live with their counselors in groups of 5 to 10 children: they eat wholesome and delicious meals with their groups, go on hiking and canoeing adventures together, and create a family away from home that results in friendships that last for years to come.
COST: $950*

From our parent community…
“My daughter was very happy when she came back from camp. She had a really three dimensional experience of life in its best way: supported, nurtured, with a taste of independence, trust and adventure. We can't wait for next year!” - M.S.
"Not only do the children get to live outside for two weeks, but they are under the guidance of loving adults who provide home-cooked meals and encourage plenty of singing. My son had the best time!" — S.D.
