Explorers
completed grades 7-9

Experience community in a true “camping” setting. Explorers stay in covered wagons and prepare more of their meals over an open fire. There are always new places to discover! Hike to new places, explore your faith with new friends, and enjoy worship, games, crafts and campfires. Designed as a small community, a 1-to-8 counselor-to-camper ratio is maintained. Explorers even head offsite for an afternoon canoe trip, camping at a local park.

Voyagers

New Program for 2012

Explore Minnesota by land and sea - two adventures in one! Experience backpacking on the hilly trails of bluff country, then navigate the river as we embark on a voyage by canoe. An awesome faith-building camping adventure, designed for middle school campers. Voyagers helps you develop skills for the outdoors, live by faith, and have a blast with youth and counselors.

Outpost
completed grades 8 & 9

Get ready for the most rustic of our onsite programs... Along with a small group of campers and staff, you’ll get to camp in tents and create your own camp village in the forest! All meals are packed out and prepared by the group. As a group you can work together to determine your daily schedule and fun activities. In addition to meals, worship and Bible Study, possible activities include hiking, creek splashing, under-cover projects to serve others, games and campfires. Outpost is the perfect opportunity to explore faith questions in more in-depth ways, live in the outdoors, and grow as a community.

Confirmation Camp

This program is a partnership between your congregation and Good Earth Village. Campers spend time each morning with the pastor or confirmation leader from their church. Afternoons are spent in a variety of camp activities including hiking, group building, canoeing, crafts, games, swimming at the local pool and creek splashing. Campers stay in both our Hilltop and Old Town cabins.
