Days

Welcome to Camp!

We’ll get settled in our dorms/tents, and pack for the next day’s Wilderness trip. We finish the day with our Campfire tradition, where campers can sing, laugh and make new friends. Read more about the Campfire here.

Wilderness Backpacking

Campers depart campus for a Wilderness Overnight Trip, where they will backpack and experience a night in nature.

Camper Choice

Campers spend the day on campus or around Summit County, where they can choose from activities like disc golf, Earth Treks, fishing, archery and tye-dye. We end each day with a Candle Chat.

Challenge Hike

We leave KSS before sunrise for a Challenge Hike – where campers push themselves outside of their comfort zones on a difficult hike in a beautiful location, sometimes as far as summiting a mountain at 14,000 feet! Learn more about the Challenge Hike.

Adventure Day

Depending on the week, choices can include rafting, horseback riding, rock climbing or a ropes course. We end the day with a fun and laughter filled Talent Show, followed by our closing camper ceremony and the week’s Camper Awards.

Camp Celebration

On the last day of camp we’ll pack up and have a celebration with arriving families, where we’ll will sing camp songs, meet the counselors and watch a video celebrating the memories from the week.

C.L.A.W.

CLAW, or Camp Legends and Warriors, is a cherished tradition that brings an electric buzz of excitement to our two-week overnight camp. When Color War ignites, the entire camp divides into five spirited teams, each proudly displaying their unique color and team identity. Over the course of several exhilarating days, campers and counselors come together to participate in a diverse range of thrilling challenges.

Car Camping

Campers will head to a local drive-in camping spot for the night.

Rafting Day

The campers will depart the KSS campus for a day of rafting on the Arkansas River.
