WHY CAMP?
Thinking about sending your kids to camp this summer? Wondering what campers will gain from a week at Red Willow?
​
We’re glad you asked! Here are just a few benefits of camp:
Faith!
Campers explore faith through interactive Bible studies, worships and cabin devotions. We encourage campers to engage their faith with a sense of wonder rather than certainty. This wonder ignites a passion for lifelong faith exploration.
Affirmation!
Our summer staff are specially trained to engage campers in all camp activities while honoring their individual needs. While our top priority will always be safety, a close second is ensuring that your camper is valued and loved by our young adult staff. We want all campers to know that they are beloved children of our God.
Community!
Camp is structured to build meaningful relationships! Campers live together in cabins and are partnered with other cabins throughout the week for activities. As a cabin group, campers make decisions together, serve each other and share all the joys and challenges of camp. It’s a great way to practice living well with others.
Adventure!
All our beloved camp activities and lots of freshly minted, improvised activities keep campers fully engaged every day! Beyond these stated activities, we make space to revel in God’s creation – surrounded by live oak trees and starlight. Campers are encouraged to try new things and most of all have fun!
SUMMER CAMP OPPORTUNITIES
Red Willow provides a variety of summer camp opportunities. All of our camps include worship, time to learn about scripture, fun songs, bonfires, counselor lead games.

COSTS
Red Willow is committed to ensuring that no one is turned away from camp due to cost. Generous donors allow us to provide camp at less than cost for every participant. Without our donors camp would cost $750 per week. Instead Registrants have the opportunity to choose from our fee tiers.

Tier 1 is our standard fee and represents approximately 50% of the real cost of camp. The generosity of donors makes this possible.
-
Tier 2, for those who choose, represents approximately 2/3rds of the real cost.
