PURE AND SIMPLE
The modern world can make kids anxious, lonely, and disconnected. That’s why Camp Deer Run provides an old-fashioned summer camp experience where authentic childhood lives on.
At Camp Deer Run, kids make friends, experience God, and have the most fun of their year, pure and simple.

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why Camp Deer Run?
What's the difference between a one and two week session?
One-week sessions run from Sunday to Friday, meaning there are four full days of Camp. Two-week sessions go from Sunday until the Friday of the next week, making twelve full days of Camp. So the biggest difference is that two-week sessions actually have triple the amount of Camp!
One-week sessions are often a great starting point for younger campers, and we pack as much fun, friendship, and worship into these shorter sessions as we can! Click here to check out the one-week session theme days and activities.
Two-week sessions include everything about one-week sessions, but with several extra highlights like Outcamping, the Hawaiian Day slip'n'slide, Killi Kapers, Mellow Night, and much more. Click here to check out the two-week session theme days and activities.
What are the age requirements?
Campers ages 5 to 8 years old are eligible for our PeeWee Day Camps (must be 5 years old by September 1, 2024 to be eligible).
Campers over the age of 9 up to incoming High School Seniors are eligible for overnight camp sessions (must be 9 years old by September 1, 2024 to be eligible).
How do I register?
To register, visit https://campdeerrun.campmanagement.com/p/campers/login_m.php. General Overnight Camp Registration begins on February 11th at 2:00pm.
What are the cabins like?
Our cabins are intentionally built to be rustic and minimalistic, but also safe and comfortable. There is no air conditioning in our cabins, but campers are encouraged to bring a box fan or other personal fan - this is usually plenty to keep everyone cool at night! Cabins are mostly used for changing clothes and sleeping, so in the heat of the day there is not much time spent in the cabins.
Is Camp Deer Run Safe?
Who are the Staff?
Every summer we hire 65+ college-aged young adults to serve on our summer staff. These staff go through a thorough application, interview, and background check process. Before the summer, all the staff are trained extensively in camper safety. We only hire staff who are practicing Christians who are members of a church body.

Scholarship Program
Camp Deer Run plays a vital role in the spiritual growth of our campers. It is our hope that we will be able to offer the Deer Run experience to as many kids as possible, never turning anyone away for financial reasons. We have established this campership program as a way to ensure that any family who wants to send their child to camp will be able to, regardless of their financial situation. There are no requirements to apply. If you have a need, we want to help.
APPLICATIONS FOR 2024 SUMMER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE NOW CLOSED.
