2007 Schedule

archeology

Spend a week with us while we look to see where archeology, astronomy, geology and ecology intersect our faith. Take time to explore an ongoing archeology dig that dates back to the days when the Native American tribes of the Shenandoah Valley area shared hunting ground because it was so abundant.

Look up at stars you feel you can almost touch, because of the lack of interfearing light (in other words, it's so dark in Fort Valley that the stars really feel like they are closer and brighter). Discover what the mountain is made of and how they make a difference in the vegetation and animal population in this area.

Wade into Passage Creek and see what inhabitants are hiding under the rocks and in the eddys; hike into the woods and look for signs of the wildlife that calls this area home. Pull all these together and discover where they intersect our faith. Through conversations, experiences, studies and discovery we will explore each of these areas and wherein lies our faith.

 

Pioneer Camp

These campers will be housed in the cabin village and in addition to the Faith and Science camp activities, they will be enjoying lake time activities, campfires, boating, singing, evening recreation games and several other traditional camp activities.

Adventure Camp

Adventure campers in addition to the traditional camp activities will be off site exploring some of the science areas from the river and they will be housed in the Sukkah Village.

Some activities will be with the others and some will be just with the Adventure campers.

Quest Camp

The high school age group will have several added elements to this camp that are not yet confirmed (check back for more specific information).

In addition to the normal camp elements there will be some added challenges and some much deeper discussion opportunities.

Some activities will be with the others and some will be just with the Quest campers.
