Activities

This special program is designed for 1st & 2nd graders as an introduction to the experiences of Servant Camp.  Ponies come to camp 3 afternoons from 1:00-4:45,  Tuesday, August 7th- Thursday, August 9th.  They spend their time swimming, playing games, doing crafts, singing camp songs, and making new friends.  They always enjoy the scavenger hunt and tour of Servant Camp.  An experienced Servant Camp staff person assisted by the Junior Staff will lead the Ponies.

In addition to the above activities for our campers we have:

-Handarts with woodburning, leatherwork, painting and more

-Outdoor cooking over a fire to make yummy treats

-Fun games on the fields

• 6th graders:  Bike trip on the Cannon Valley Trail
• 7th graders:  High Ropes course at  YMCA’s Camp Ihduhapi

These campers experience a retreat format in the morning filled with praise & worship and inspiring sharings from a new guest speaker each day.  Afternoons provide opportunities to try new things like:  ice cream making, hemp necklaces, Ultimate Frisbee, tie dyeing, and so much more!   After the lights go down for the younger campers, the 8th and older crowds enjoy our ever popular coffee house under the big tent

The last year of being a camper is the best!  Everyday is something different!  Challenging activities include:  kayaking in Lake City and float tubing on the Cannon River.  The 10th grade campers also enjoy relaxing activities such as bbq’s, swimming and hanging out with friends.  Along with the 8th & 9th graders, their day begins with praise & worship and a guest speaker every day.  After the lights go down for the younger campers, the 8thk-12th graders enjoy our ever popular coffee house under the big tent!

Every year there is a game that involves all campers and staff. The details of this years game will be announced at camp!

Whether it is playing, singing, sitting around the campfire, laughing, catching frogs, swimming or climbing,  Jesus Christ is seen in everything at Servant Camp!  It’s all about friendship with Jesus Christ and one another.  All campers are encouraged to memorize and reflect on the camp scripture.  This year, it’s “Isaiah 6:8 :   Then I heard the Lord say, “Whom shall I send?”  Who will be our messenger?” I answered, “I will go! Send me!”

Each night we have an all-camp activity. Some years we have treasure hunts around the whole camp; some years we organize into teams and play a wide game. There are skit nights, Junior Staff showdowns, carnivals, Olympics, Crazy Bingo nights, as well as our Opening and Closing nights.

Each night after evening program, we’ll break into smaller groups around a campfire and listen to a short talk by a staff member; the talks are about some aspect of our relationship with Jesus. Then each unit meets in a smaller group to talk and enjoy a quiet starlit night.
Serenades: We don’t mean love songs! At Servant Camp, units have the opportunity to visit another unit and sing them to sleep. It’s a special treat your unit may get to do if they are extra good!

Each day begins with putting up the American flag and ends by taking it down. Most units will have an opportunity to raise and lower the flag. We are happy to also raise a Canadian flag when we have Canadian citizens with us at Servant Camp.
