Staff Ratio: Our counselors are recruited from over 20 different Universities and are hired from over 150 candidates so we can maintain the best 1:4 counselor to camper ratio around. A mandatory 2 week Training Camp before your kids get here helps us create an awesome team of committed, Christian mentors for your campers.

- This program will empower young people and encourage them to take responsibility for their lives and the future of our communities.
- Campers will become more self reliant and work interdependently on a team. They will develop listening, goal setting, negotiation and problem solving skills.
- Our goal is to equip campers to become more confident, flexible and sure of themselves with teachers, parents, advisors, and coaches.
Bear Tribe Competition. Campers are "initiated" onto a Bear Tribe when they get to camp. Boys become either Polar of Grizzley Bears and girls become either Sugar or Honey Bears. Once they are on a team they are in it for life! Campers participate in friendly competition daily to see which team will win bragging rights until the next summer.
