Summer Camp

Sending a child to camp for the first time is a big deal. This page will introduce you to summer camp at Camp Roger and will help you learn what you need to know as a parent of a new camper.

What Makes Camp Roger a Great Choice?

Kids meet God at camp. In a setting away from home, a young person can see God with new eyes. We take every opportunity we can to make Camp Roger a place where kids grow in their faith.
At Camp Roger, nature is integral. We don't strive to turn up the volume on your child's life. We believe that the simplicity of a game of Capture the Flag or a mucking adventure in Pickerel Lake helps slow kids down. They are then free to just have fun and be ready to be filled up with the wonder of God's creation.
Our counselors are impressive young people who know how to mentor kids in their faith while sitting around a campfire, hiking to the bog, or learning to braid. Whether being away from home for the first time or spreading his or her wings on a Pioneer trip, we want each child to finish camp feeling confident and closer to God. That's why we're here.
We take our responsibility to keep your child physically and emotionally safe very seriously. Safety and health practices at the waterfront, on camping trips, in the dining hall and throughout camp comply with or exceed state licensing and industry standards. Camp Roger is proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association. Developed exclusively for the camp industry, this nationally-recognized program focuses on program quality and health and safety issues, and requires us to review every facet of our operation.

What Will Camp Be Like for my Child?

Kids are assigned to their cabins by age, and spend a good portion of each day with just their cabin and their counselors.
Kids are also given the opportunity to make individual choices such as which morning activities they want to take, whether they want to swim at free swim or not, or what "7:10" activities to go to. Within the safe structure of camp, this allows campers to do what interests them and to interact with campers from different cabins.
Meals are eaten with their cabinmates and counselors in the dining hall. Meals are served family style to foster interactions and conversations with their cabin.
Our counselors take their jobs as role models seriously. They are intentional about getting to know each camper’s unique personality, strengths, and fears. They strive to create solid relationships with the campers and inspire them to be amazing Christians.
