What's camp like?
All campers will experience the traditional fun of summer camp including swimming, kayaking/boating, arts & crafts, archery, campfires, games, and all-around camp life. We come together as a whole camp for meals and vespers and other occasional special programming. Kids attending a youth session will sleep in cabins, & Me campers will stay in Oakmound Lodge with many of the comforts of home. (Learn more about lodging at Daycholah Center)
Our goal is to empower all campers—from first-timers to experienced campers—to try something new. A new outdoor activity, a new food, a new game, a new art skill, or a new friend while teaching them the skills they need and supporting the philosophy that ultimately they decide what boundaries they want to push.
Immersed in nature, campers not only engage in a range of outdoor activities but also develop an appreciation for the environment and a sense of responsibility towards it. Additionally, the intentional break from technology creates a unique space for genuine human connections to flourish. Without the distractions of screens, young campers have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, enhance communication skills, and develop a sense of community.
Our Staff
Our staff includes both volunteer and paid staff from around the world who are enthusiastic and have a passion for inspiring kids and teens to embrace the entire experience of summer camp. We are trained to support those who might feel homesick. Our team understands the unique role a counselor plays in creating community and helping campers build confidence. We are ready to support a range of differences with care, kindness, and respect.
Camper safety is always our priority. Our staff is trained in first aid and the waterfront is supervised by certified lifeguards.
Faith-Based and Spirit-Inspired
Daycholah Center is sacred ground and our time together in this place is designed to deepen your faith–through questions, exploration, and your own experience. Our conversations originate with Christian love and are age-appropriate and respectful of all religions and beliefs. The Spirit moves us and shapes us each in individual ways, and we come together to learn what that means.
