Here’s a quick look at what’s happening in JUNE! Lots of fun!
Keep scrolling down for a deeper look into our program.

 

Worship
We love Jesus here at COOL Camp and we’re not afraid to show it! It is our hope to share our love of God and His love for us with each and every camper. Campstarts off with worship and ends with worship every day. We also have a wonderful prayer room where campers will be encouraged to draw close to God through writing, drawing, reading, and being still in prayer. We can’t forget counselor time, a chance for counselors to engage with their campers in meaningful discussion and activity.

Swimming Lessons
Safety first, then speed! Our partnership with Southern Adventist University’s Hulsey Wellness Center provides swimming lessons at no extra cost for every camper. Campers learn from Red Cross certified instructors who give them confidence around water and sharpen their swimming skills.

Free Time Options

  • Pool- free swim at the Hulsey Wellness Pool
  • Game Room – pool, air hockey, ping pong, fusbol
  • Gym – basketball, dodgeball, kickball, volleyball
  • Playground/Field – swings, slides, jungle gym, football, soccer
  • Water Play – Slip-n-slide, creek, water balloons
  • Prayer Room – indoor and outdoor

Family Groups
Family Groups is an opportunity for all of COOL Camp to come together and play! Campers of all ages are divided into “families”. “Families” will work together as a team to complete fun tasks and compete against other “families”. This is a great opportunity for our older campers to grow in leadership as they give special care to the younger members of their “family”. With Family Groups we truly hope to grow together as a real COOL Camp family!
