Why send your child to Slumber Falls Camp?
As a parent or guardian, the well being of your children is paramount. We seek ways to challenge our kids, help them grow and mature, and find ways for them to gain the necessary skills to be successful and happy in life. Choosing a camp can be a daunting challenge when looking at all the options out there. Factors such as location, costs, safety, quality of staff, camper to staff ratios, camper welfare and other policies to create a healthy, life giving atmosphere, food, education/theology, and variety of activities can be overwhelming when trying to find a camp that supports your goals, objectives, and values as a parent. We understand that, and constantly strive to improve our camping ministries.
