This year our theme is Keeping the Earth.
A typical week at camp begins on Sunday afternoon with registration and finishes on Friday with a Closing Campfire. All families are encouraged to attend the closing where we tell stories from the week, sing songs and have awards.
Each day begins with breakfast and praise break followed by worship. Each morning there are a selection of activities that each cabin group can choose from together. The choices include crafts, recreation, cabin time, games, hikes, nature activities, creekwalking, etc. There is time for Bible Study before lunch, each day has it's own theme and bible story.
After lunch is another selection of activities, this time each individual can choose. The afternoon will include "cool" activities like swimming, boating, inside crafts and creek activities. Evenings we have time for showers, dinner, night games, campfires, songfests and skits. Cabin quiet time is 10pm to re-energize for another day.
Staff
Our college-aged counselors are chosen based on their Christian faith, energy, leadership skills and ability to work together.
They are carefully selected and specially trained to ensure a safe, meaningful and unforgetable experience for the campers. All summer staff receive First Aid/CPR training
and undergo a background check.
Interested in joining our summer staff or know someone who should? Contact Pastor Wayne Shelor or click here for more information.

Stay in touch!
For the safety of our campers, visitors are not permitted during camp session; however, mail and email are encouraged. Helping to overcome homesickness is part of our staff's training; but in some cases, we are in touch with parents.
Letters can be mailed to the camp address (2239 Camp Roosevelt Road, Fort Valley, VA 22652) or brought with you to registration and left for later distribution (please write day to deliver on envelope).
Email your camper and put their name in the subject line. The emails are generally collected each day before lunch, so you can send a message in the morning and your camper will hear from you at lunch.
camper email address is: 4campers@carolinefurnace.org

Food is served family style at the table and campers generally eat with their own cabin group.. Special dietary needs can be met with advanced notice.
Lodging is in cabin, sukkah or tent depending on the program. A same sex counselor will reside in the facility with their campers. We average a 6:1 ratio (camper to counselor).
