Outdoor Living Camps
 

Canoe the scenic Rock River – Fish in nearby waters – Cook over an open fire – Hike to Castle Rock State Park. All of these back-to-nature adventures will teach you outdoor living skills with your fellow campers in God’s creation. Some campers stay in platform tents with bunks, called "hogans", and others stay in frame tents with floors. You will prepare at least one meal a day outdoors, as well as participate in many favorite camp activities.
