Camp COW | Middle School Camp
June 24–28 | Incoming Grades 6–8

Cost | $510
Camp is full. Please register below if you are interested in placing your student on the waitlist.
Camp COW is our middle school summer camp designed to cultivate community, build life-long memories, and deepen the faith of our students. The week engages a large variety of students with a range of activities. Biblical, relevant teaching challenges students to dive deeper into their relationship with Jesus. Middle schoolers have the opportunity to participate in discussions alongside intentional staff during their week at camp. Our morning and evening programs are the highlights of the day as campers are given the space to praise God together through music and experiential learning. Of course, all of this is complemented by crazy games, paintball, high ropes, a ninja warrior course, archery, rock climbing, swimming, crafts, kayaking and so much more!
Camp COW is ultimately an opportunity to create spiritual markers in the lives of middle schoolers. Students often leave camp with a common refrain, saying, “I remember God did something in my heart, and it happened at Camp COW!”
COW Bucks
COW Bucks will be used by campers to purchase snacks and souvenirs–no cash will be accepted at camp. Bucks are sold in $10 denominations, and you will need to purchase these online by JUNE 1. Candy is $1–$2 and souvenirs are $10–$20. Refunds will not be given–all excess will be placed into the camp scholarship fund for Camp COW.
