PHILOSOPHY
The
Arrowhead experience enriches young people’s relationships with
one another, nature and God. Campers develop their sense of adventure
and spiritual awareness as they participate in the activities, outdoor
life and community of camp. Youth ministry is inspired by
the blend of Christian community and individual spiritual growth experienced
in this peaceful natural setting.

Woven
into all that we do, and led by professional staff, children attend
a daily chapel service and participate in expressive, “hands on”
activities. Each session’s final Eucharist is developed and led by
the campers and staff.
Programs and activities center on our place in God’s
natural world.
PROGRAM
Arrowhead
offers a de-centralized experience for boys and girls,
entering
grades 3 to 11, attending sessions simultaneously. Each
camper
is assigned to a “Family” of 10 peers, with a senior counselor
and
an assistant counselor. Friendships become strong as this
group
plans activities, eats, worships and plays together as a unit.

- As the foundation of our outstanding
program, the staff undergoes thorough screening along
with a training program that includes camping skills,
first-aid, counseling, Christian education and human awareness. Interest
in working with children, dedication to the camp's
philosophy and programs, and a mature sense of safety are key factors
in the staff selection process. Councelors are college age and many staffers are former
campers who have grown up in the program. International staff hired
through Camp America enrich your campers' experience by sharing other
cultural perspectives. Arrowhead offers high school and college youth
the opportunity to work with campers in a Christian setting. Staff
members come from all walks of life making lifelong friends as they share
experiences and work in this unique environment. Camp will gladly work
with college programs for credit. Administrative, service, and
supervisor positions are available as well.
