The percentages shown are the portion of each session that is already full. We hope to update these numbers weekly, but cannot guarantee their accuracy. We do not guarantee a place in a session based on these numbers, they are only meant to give an idea of the fill level of each session as a planning tool for you.

Day Camp Activities

Every day is full of adventure when you’re a PeeWee!

Horses

At least once during the week, each PeeWee will have the opportunity to take a guided horse ride around the ball field. Safety is our first priority, so two staff members walk alongside campers throughout the ride and campers wear a helmet at all times during the ride. This gentle but fun ride is a great introduction to horses for most of our PeeWees, and most of them can’t wait to ride again!

Swimming

If there’s one thing that every PeeWee loves, it’s swim time! PeeWees get an hour to swim every day. Puddle Jumper life jackets are provided and required for all campers unless they complete the swim test: swim the length of the pool unassisted and without stopping. All swimming activities will always be supervised by two lifeguards.

Crafts

Let’s get crafty! Every day PeeWees will have an hour to make a craft that our counselors prepare for them. At the end of the week, campers will get to bring all of their crafts home with them as a memento of their super-fun week at Camp! Crafts often correspond with our Bible Lessons and summer theme to help teach campers about the gospel in a hands-on and memorable way.

Bible Lesson

Each day, counselors will lead our PeeWees in a short, fun, interactive Bible Lesson. Our Bible Lesson for the day often corresponds with other activities during the day like Arts & Crafts to make it more memorable and engaging.

Group Activity

Each day at Camp has its own theme. During the Group Activity, campers play games inspired by the day’s theme. Some Group Activities include playing in the creek, a water balloon fight, and a classic cowboy cookout!

Hymn Time

It just wouldn’t be Camp Deer Run without Hymn Time! Our PeeWee Hymn Time is full of fun, interactive, and memorable songs of praise. We can’t think of any better way to worship with our PeeWees than to have a ton of fun doing it!

Day 1 - God Comes First

SCRIPTURE:

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.”
Deuteronomy 6:4-6


DEVOTIONAL:

This is a verse that we hear often. It’s a common memory verse. It’s the basis for countless worship songs and hymns. It strikes at the core of all Christian faith and life. These words come from Moses, as He speaks to the Israelites before their entry into the Promised Land. Behind them, there has been a long journey – from slavery to freedom a promise of a land of their own that is very good. But along that journey there has been temptation, and the Israelites have time and time again lost sight of their covenant with God and forgotten the salvation that He delivered to them. Because of that, they spent 40 years wandering in the desert instead of going straight to the new homeland that God had promised.


It’s a lesson to all of us that when we lose sight of God, when we forget about Him and His Word, when our focus drifts away from Him, we end up wandering in a desert instead of enjoying the good things He intended for us.


At Camp Deer Run, we leave behind many of the things in our day to day lives that distract us from God. We leave behind the phones, the TVs, the social media, the stress of school or work, the trials and struggles that we carry with us. When you step through the gates as your session begins, you can leave all of it behind you and just focus on God, pure and simple.
When we set those burdens down, and remove all the distractions that are keeping us from seeing God clearly and putting Him first in our lives, we come closer to Him, we grow deeper in our relationship with Him, we feel His love. And when we know His love for us and understand that we are His beloved children, our love for Him grows too.


But Camp doesn’t have some kind of magic forcefield around it that makes you leave your worries at the door. It’s definitely easier at Camp to leave those things behind. There’s so much fun to be had, so much nature to enjoy, and so many friends to surround you. But at the end of the day, it’s still up to you to let go of the things that distract you from God and to put Him first. Sometimes that’s hard to do, and sometimes it takes a little while to figure it out. That’s ok!


As you prepare for Camp, we just want you to know that God wants to have a relationship with you. God knows you. God loves you. And He wants you to keep your focus on Him, because He doesn’t want you to be lost in the desert. He wants to lead you to the Promised Land!

 

DISCUSSION:


What are some of the things that make it hardest for you to focus on God at home?


Can you leave that behind when you go to Camp? How?


Camp Deer Run is all about seeing God in everything, not just worship or Bible lessons, but in the games and activities and friends and fun. How do you keep your focus on God in all of these different situations?
