Outdoor Ministries - What's So Special about UCC Camps?

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST CHURCH CAMPS?

What’s so special about United Church of Christ Church Camps? NCNC/UCC Camps are special because our singular goal is to keep the ratio of campers to adults very low: about 3:1 for the youngest children, and less than 5:1 for teens. Our camps are staffed by volunteer adults and teens who are active in local churches, take their own faith journey seriously, and look forward to being good friends and positive role models to campers.

We train our volunteers to be especially mindful of keeping campers physically, emotionally and spiritually safe; to look for ways to constantly affirm each individual; to assist campers in staying engaged in the program; and to help keep the community running smoothly and efficiently.

Children and youth participating in an NCNC/UCC summer camp will return not only with many new friends among peers, but with new friends who are caring adults.
