Pioneer Sampler
A short overnight session for younger elementary campers — swimming, canoeing, archery, crafts, and a cabin full of new faces. June 16–18, June 30 – July 2 and July 28–30.
Everything that makes camp magical — in just 3 days.
Pioneer Sampler is a two-night introduction to the full camp experience, designed for younger campers who are ready to dip their toes into overnight camp life without diving into a full week. It’s also perfect for the parent who isn’t quite sure their child is ready — because two nights is exactly the right amount of time to find out that they absolutely are.
In just three days (arriving Wednesday morning and departing Friday afternoon), campers swim, canoe, shoot archery, make something in the craft lodge, and experience the joy of doing all of it with a great counselor and a cabin full of new friends. Faith formation is woven through naturally — in conversations, in community, in the small moments that happen when kids slow down and pay attention to the world around them.
Two nights is enough time for a shy camper to find their footing, and for the magic of camp to take hold. Campers who come for the Sampler almost always want to come back for the full week — and that’s exactly the point.
Pioneer Sampler pairs beautifully with our half-week Grands and Family Camp offerings.
