Campers

" Camp gives kids the opportunity to take on personal challenges with a greater sense of independence and ownership and accomplish things they never thought possible ... So why is camp such an important environment to build resilience? In addition to providing endless challenging opportunities for campers, camp builds connections! The number one way to build resilience, as identified by the American Psychological Association’s Road to Resilience, is to make connections. Camp helps kids face challenges head-on, because camp builds strong supportive relationships and gives kids a sense of belonging. That sense of belonging provides the needed support, guidance and acceptance that help campers do great things." — Iroquois Springs Camp Blog

Spiritual Formation

Campers engage in a variety of faith activities at camp led by excellent ABCMC clergy, musicians, and teachers. Each day starts with devotions in the beautiful Schulz Chapel overlooking the lake and ends with campfire worship. Each day is rooted in Scripture and offers the opportunity for critical-thinking, personal reflection, and community conversation.

​

At camp, we take seriously our Christian commitment to be inclusive and loving neighbors to each other, to our hosts, and to creation.

Cabins

Cabins are camp families! Cabin mates share their living space and attend activities together throughout the week. Each cabin includes 2 counselors and up to 8 campers, assigned by age and gender. Cabins have electricity but are not air-conditioned. Separate bathhouses, including single-stall toilets & showers, are a short walking distance.

 

Returning this year: 'All Gender Cabin(s)' for campers that opt-in. See the handout for details. Traditional same-gender cabin options are still available for all campers.
