CHI RHO CAMP

Chi Rho Camp is geared to Jr. High/Middle School youth who have finished grades 6, 7, or 8. Through the study of the Bible in morning “Quest” Groups they seek out the Quest Truth for that day.  Beginning each morning with cabin devotions they learn to begin each day with a look towards God and Jesus.  The day ends with the whole camp gathered for a worship service and then a good night prayer we call the closing Chi Rho.  The week ends with a special service known as consecration.  Here each young person has on opportunity to make a private commitment to themselves about what they have experienced during the week and how they will carry the message forward.  These “letters” to themselves are sent as a packet to the Local Church where youth leaders hand them back to them in late winter.  All campers are invited to partake of the Lord’s Supper during this service regardless of where they are on their faith journey. 

     Chi Rho Camp can be the best week of your life. You'll do more in one week than you ever thought possible.  Experience serious times of worship, Bible Study, prayer, and discussion in our Quest Groups. Enjoy fun times of swimming in our two pools, fishing, games, singing, talent shows, and campfires. Make new friends which may last a lifetime. Grow in your Christian Faith.

     Each day Chi Rho Campers gather in Quest Groups during the morning hours (groups of 8-12 campers learning by studying the scripture, crafts and games); in Morning Prayers by Cabin Groups each morning; and in Evening Prayers each evening as a whole camp. The week culminates in an inspirational Consecration Service on Friday evening.

     Each week the camps are blessed with outstanding Christian pastors and lay persons as Assistant Directors, Counselors (cabin, table, Quest Group) who engage with the campers in study, prayer, recreation, etc., befriending young people in a way that has an impact on their lives for good. The program is blessed by the time, talent, treasure, and love extended so generously by these devoted volunteers.
