YPC 1 (ages 8-10) July 18 – 24, 2010
YPC 2 (ages 9-11) July 25-31, 2010
Young People’s Camp (YPC) is all about fun! Every day offers a variety of choices ranging from quiet games of checkers to rowdy games of ultimate Frisbee; singing groups to junk band sessions; bracelet-making playshops to intriguing theater games; mural painting to body painting; blowing bubbles to making up super-heroes (a YPC favorite!) One day we may dress up as pirates; another day we do everything backwards. At lunchtime, we bang on the tables and make lots of noise. Later, by the bonfire, we have quieter times, telling stories and singing songs.
For many, YPC is their first time away from home, an experience that can be both scary and exciting. Enrollment is limited to 20 for each session, so each camper receives close, individual attention. The staff members are fun people, energetic, and dedicated individuals with hearts full of gifts to share. Some staff attended YPC when they were young, and all work together to create a loving, nourishing camp, free of competition and criticism, where everyone can explore and have fun. Campers and staff say YPC is an exciting adventure that they look forward to all year. Come join us at YPC—we want to share our fun with you!
