Camp Olivet
Grades 3-6* :: June 25-29, 2012 :: $160
OPEN REGISTRATION FOR THIS CAMP IS NOW CLOSED, AS WE ARE AT FULL CAPACITY FOR THIS SUMMER. If you are interested in being placed on the waiting list, please email Matt Wooden (mwooden@indiana.edu). Campers on the waiting list will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis.
Oh, Camp O. Where do we begin? First of all, it’s beautiful. Olivet sits on a Civil War-era farmstead (with original barn where we eat, craft, and gather). We roam in Indian Creek and trek through hundreds of acres of pristine forest wilderness while deer, salamanders, and snakes scatter. There are no lights to distract from sunsets and starlights. So you know, there’s all that.
It's in this setting that we invite campers to play, to create, to sing, to act, to wonder and worship, to ask unscripted and unfiltered questions about God - who he is and what he’s doing. And best of all, they do it with friends - some they knew before and some they just met. Community is big here - we want kids to crave relationship and find it here with God and others. Our 1:3 counselor to camper ratio (and 2:1 overall staff to camper ratio) are designed to ensure your child is known and comes to know others.
This is a week that will become part of your child’s story. There’s a reason we have old campers coming back to counsel and be part of the staff each year - Camp Olivet gets in your blood. Sending your child to camp is a big step, and we want to help the camp experience be something amazing and unforgettable. In addition to spending time in this environment, we want to do our best to connect to the area, using organic products from farms around the camp whenever possible for our snack and meal menus. You may also be interested in our partnership with campers around the world - when your camper signs up for camp here, it pays for campers in Ukraine to attend camp there! Please also know that we are committed to bringing EVERY interested child to camp, regardless of cost. Scholarships of any amount are available when you register.
