This retreat is great for first-time or experienced campers. Children do all the fun camp things from making bracelets to gaga ball to fishing!
If a part of a PC(USA) congregation, you will register through your church. If not, please mail [email protected] to register. All elementary campers are welcome! (This retreat is done this way because Living River doesn't have their Summer seasonal staff during the Fall. All in-cabin adult chaperones will be volunteers from PC(USA) congregations. They will all have background checks. If your family is not a part of a PC(USA) congregation, and you're interested in being a chaperone with your camper, you would be welcome! Just let us know in the email.)
