Camp

Attend a Christian Summer Camp!

We believe Christian discipleship can happen in powerful ways when young people take time away from their busy lives to listen for God in a camp setting.  We would like every family to consider a Christian Camp opportunity like: day camp, overnight camp, family camp, or a First Pres group camp.  Camp opportunities are available for children as young as kindergarten through 12th grade.

There are MANY options for Christian Summer Camp.

      

First Presbyterian recognizes that summer camps can be expensive, so we are offering two kinds of assistance: 1) a flat $100 incentive per child per Christian summer camp to help with the cost of registration costs (paid directly to the family once we’ve received confirmation that the child is registered) or 2) if sending your child to camp is a financial hardship, we are offering scholarships (full and partial).

Complete the Camp Registration Incentive & Scholarship Form to apply for either option.  Please register for camp early and take advantage of this generous promotion!

Questions?  Contact Todd Bowman or Annie Pompelia.
There are many great Christian summer camps in our region and all would qualify for our Go To Camp Promotion.  A description of visiting camps and others that First Pres church members have attended is below:

Camp Ligonier
Ligonier is located in Ligonier, PA, about a 2.5-hour drive from Winchester.  They offer camp options for kids ages 6-17.

Massanetta Springs Music and Bible Conference
Massanetta Springs is our Presbytery Camp located in Harrisonburg, VA.  They offer a Church Music Conference for children, youth, and adults as well as a highly-regarded Bible Conference for adults.  Both conferences run concurrently July 21-27.  FPC attends as a group and shares a cottage.  This is the only camp we promote with adult options, and it can give families a chance to stay together while participating in age-specific activities during the day.

Summer’s Best 2 Weeks (Visited in the fall)
SB2W is located in Boswell, PA, about a 2 ½ hour drive from Winchester.  The camp is open to 8-18 year olds and has a sports focus.  Registration for this camp is extremely competitive so register quickly!  Last year we had students on their waitlist that were able to attend, so that is an option as well!
