Welcome to Resident Camp 2010!  We are extremely glad to present you with the programs for this year.  While many are old favorites, we have added some new programs that we are very excited to present.  Be sure to check them all out!

This summer, programs available for campers will be divided into four different groups.  The group your camper falls into will be decided by the grade they will be entering.  The four groups are:

• Seekers (entering grades 2-3)
• Trekkers (entering grades 4-6)
• Explorers (entering grades 7-9)
• Pathfinders (entering grades 10-12)

Certain programs are reserved for certain age groups.  Family Camp is open to campers of all ages.

Traditional

$440

Entering Grades 1 - 12

This is the classic camp experience rich in Rockfish tradition, touching on all aspects that have made Rockfish great over the years.  Campers will be able to participate in all that the camp has to offer.  Activities include swimming in the pool and playing on the lake toys, arts and crafts, high ropes, climbing tower and zip line, environmental education, sports, canoeing/kayaking, fishing, target sports (including archery and BB guns), skateboarding and more.  Of course, no Rockfish experience would be complete without going on the mud walk and trying some of our famous parflesnarf.  All campers experience daily, counselor-lead, small group devotions as well as large, all-camp worship sessions.  This is a great track for all campers, whether they have experienced Rockfish before or not.  The small group experience lends itself to a unique and rewarding experience every summer.  Join us and find out what Camp Rockfish is all about in 2010.

Mini

Entering Grades 2-3

This is an ideal introduction to summer camp for the young first-time camper.  In this 3-day track, campers will experience all that a traditional camp has to offer, but in a smaller package perfectly tailored for campers who have seldom, if ever, slept away from home.  They will be able to take part in most activities at camp, including canoeing, arts and crafts, fishing, mud walks and many more!  A smaller group size allows counselors to spend more time with each individual camper, and these well-trained counselors will also lead them in a devotion developed specifically for campers their age.  This track is excellent for those who are ready to make the plunge into a true sleep-away camp.

Tent

Children today have never known a world without video games, cell phones, internet and GPS.  The Rockfish Tent camp offers campers the opportunity to embrace a lifestyle without those amenities that we have all begun to take for granted.  Campers will hike into a remote location on Camp Rockfish property, where they will live in tents and cook all of their meals over an open fire.  Campers will learn outdoor living skills, as well as orienteering.  Participation in traditional Camp Rockfish activities will also be a part of their days.  Daily devotions will help center campers throughout their day as well as participation in large, all-camp, worship at the end of each day.  Campers will work as a team in their small group to accomplish the necessary tasks each day in order to sustain their lifestyle.  This camp stands to be as rewarding as it is challenging.
