Camper Programs
Camp Arrowhead is decentralized. That means that campers are placed in family groups - they live together, eat meals together, and travel to all their activities together. It also means that every camper that comes to Arrowhead has the opportunity to participate in everything we offer.
Taste of Camp
Taste-of-campers are entering 2nd grade and 3rd grade . They come to Arrowhead for 5 days/4 nights just to get a "taste" of summer camp. They live in cabins with up to 9 friends and 2 counseling staff.

Day Camp
This program is offered to children entering 2nd through 5th grade who wish to experience camp’s wonderful activities, but who are not quite ready to sleep over. Campers are usually assigned to co-ed groups. Drop off your camper at 7:30am and return at 6:30pm for a full day of Christian camping and three good meals. Please note that there are 3, 4 and 5 day sessions which coordinate with our residential camp schedule.

Homestead
Homestead is for children entering 3rd through 6th grade. Ten campers live in a cabin with a counselor and a CIT. This group becomes a “family” unit as they participate together in daily activities. “Homesteaders” are able to participate in all of camp’s activities. Each group also has a remote campsite which they visit to cookout and camp-out.

Pioneer serves campers entering 6th through 9th grade. (Yes, campers entering 6th grade can pick between Homestead or Pioneer.) They live 4 to a shelter with their Counselor and CIT nearby in a separate shelter in one of 7 self contained campsites. Each unit cooks one meal out a day and uses their campcraft skills to improve their campsite. All of Pioneer forms a tight group as they enjoy dances, games and potluck dinners during the evenings at Pioneer Hall.
