LIFE AT CAMP...

Our Facilities
Scenic Hills houses its campers in three dormitory buildings. Two
of the dorms are for girls, one is for boys. Each dormitory has a
sleeping area with rows of bunk beds, as well as restroom and
shower facilities. In addition to the dormitory buildings, there is
the kitchen and dining hall building, the chapel, the shelters,
the snack shack, and the pool.

Awesome Activities
Campers at Scenic Hills stay very busy! They are involved daily
in devotions, chapel, lots of singing, and campfire at The Point.
There are also lots of games and skits. Campers can also go swimming
in our pool, go hiking on our trails, or explore our very own cave.

Camp Store
Campers will need extra money for the Camp Store. All purchases
are optional. Most snack items are $.50-$.75. CampT-shirts are
$10 or less. The camp store is normally open twice daily during most
sessions. To keep younger campers from losing money, canteen cards
will be available for purchase at the store and registration table
when you arrive.

Mission Offering
Each dean will select a mission for his/her program. Campers and
counselors are encouraged to bring money for the missionaries
represented at their camp session. To keep younger children from
losing money, you may deposit their mission offering in the
'mission bank' in the registration area.

Group Picture
A group picture will be taken at each camp session.
Every camper will receive a picture at no extra cost.

Parent Info
A great deal of time and preparation is involved in planning
the camp program for your child. Campers who arrive late, leave
during the week, or leave early, can be a distraction to the total
program. Please respect the dean, counselors, camp staff, and other
campers by seeing to it that your child is present
for the entire camp program. I think you will agree that few
things are more important than having your child in a
Christian environment and learning about the principles of God.
Please plan ahead and see to it that your child is present
for the whole camp program.

For the safety of all campers, to discourage homesickness,
and to keep the continuity of the session for campers,
all non-registered youth and parents are discouraged from visiting
the camp during their child's program. Please phone the camp
if you are concerned about a camper. If you must visit,
upon arrival you will be required to check-in with the
camp manager or dean. Please cooperate with these
and other camp policies for the safety and well being
of each camper.

Our Staff
Scenic Hills is managed by minister Danny Starr. Each week of camp
during the summer has its own Dean. Many of the Deans are area
ministers who staff their week of camp with volunteers from their
own churches. These volunteers serve as counselors, teachers, cooks, etc.
to help fill the many roles it takes to put on a week of camp.

Our volunteers are a very important part of the ministry of
Scenic Hills Christian Camp. If it were not for these special people
we could not effectively do this ministry. We have volunteers who are
talented in the areas of electrical, plumbing, carpentry, welding,
concrete work, gardening, etc. As of right now we could use
these people almost every week.

We need to expand our volunteer base. Perhaps you have talents in these
or other fields such as computer technologies, finances, photography,
refrigeration, secretarial, video technology, etc. and, of course,
just plain old manual labor. Some of the most needed volunteers are
those who come and participate in a camp program as a counselor.
Our campers always need dedicated Christian adults who will be
an example to them. If you are interested in being a counselor
at any of our programs, or volunteering in some other capacity,
please call the camp office at (812) 849-CAMP.
