At Michindoh, we value the opportunity to provide Christian camps for the children of our
community. It is our intention that no child be deprived of attending camp and hearing the
Gospel. We endeavor to do all we can to reach this goal. Our efforts continue throughout
the year by raising funds and scholarships and serving hundreds of groups that generate
the resources to keep camping programs for youth affordable at Michindoh.

or western miner tent with bunks that have a comfortable mattress, electric lighting
and fans to keep cool. These units are spacious and provide the fun theme of a
western village, but with the comfort of a cabin.

Connect!
Here at Michindoh, we are prayerfully preparing to
encourage campers, as they let go of everyday struggles and
allow God to fill them with His strength! By clinging to Him,
we learn that we are connected to something bigger and
that God is writing the rest of His story through us! Join us
as we expand on Philippians 3:12 (NIV) “Not that I have
already obtained all this, or have already arrived at
my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which
Christ Jesus took hold of me,” and we unfold what it
looks like to have Christ fill us; to connect to the Bible, the
Church, and the community around us. If you’re looking to
get connected, then take hold and let’s go!
High School Camp
Primary Camp
High School camp moves each camper to a whole new
level! Michindoh’s high adventure course and exciting
recreation will challenge the physical, while God’s word,
dynamic worship, and times of teaching will challenge
their hearts! In this camp, students will be given the tools
to help maintain a solid biblical foundation in their walk of
commitment to Christ! We have many fun and exciting
adventures waiting for them during this week: paintball,
the rush of our zip-line, a 3-D climbing wall, new friends,
and the exhilaration of Michindoh’s water-slide! High
school students are going to have a blast.
Primary Camp is a wonderful opportunity for younger campers to experience the excitement of
an overnight program! A fun-filled three day/two night program offers the perfect introduction
to “camp!” We pack this camp session full of interesting activities such as Michindoh’s own
Nature Center, sliding down the waterslide, or playing classic camp games. Primary camp also
presents a wonderful, and age appropriate, introduction to the very foundations of Christianity.
Our goal is to help those who attend develop an understanding of who God is and just how
very much He loves each camper!

deeper level. This is a six day/ five night experience which
includes camp favorites like gold rush, as well as some new
and exciting activities like archery tag and laser tag. From our
high adventure activities to our chapel services, campers will
be challenged to deepen their walk and focus their life! Filled
with new experiences, new relationships, and new beginnings,
this will be a week not soon forgotten!

We are excited to let you know that we will have a
brand new facility at our Harmony Springs Western
Village for summer, 2016. After many years of
‘roughing it’ out at Harmony Springs, we will
now have a new bathroom facility. There will be
beautifully modern bathrooms for both the boys and
girls. This bathhouse will come complete with lots of
sinks and mirror space, 22 shower stalls, and private
changing areas! Campers will have a comfortable
facility to both freshen up and get ready for the day.
This wonderful facility will have an old west look on
the outside that will fit right in with the Harmony
Springs Western Village motif, but on the inside will
have the modern conveniences that our campers
will appreciate. A great big “Thank you” to all our
supporters who have made this possible.

Ages 7-9 • July 17-19 & July 20-22 • $135
Because of the popularity of this age group we offer two weeks of junior
camp. Both of these weeks offers unique activities and its own “special
events.” Campers can also choose the optional horseback riding Buffalo
Ranch experience. Since each week will present something extra special,
students can attend just one, or both for an extra-extra special summer!
Both weeks will present an opportunity for your child to learn about Christ’s
parables, books of the Bible, and will help build a strong biblical foundation!
This is a six day/ five night experience which will leave your child wanting to
come back again and again.
The optional Buffalo Ranch experience is an
off campus trip to a working buffalo ranch.
Campers will enjoy both a horseback
trail ride and a wagon ride where they
will observe and feed buffalo. There is an
additional charge of $30 for this experience.
Special Offer:
Join us for more
than one week
of Day Camp and
save $20 on each
additional week!
Michindoh’s Day Camp is a 5 day
long program that runs 6 times during
our summer camping season! These
camps are designed for those who are
not quite ready for over-night camps.
Monday through Friday is jam packed
with exciting activities, crafts, waterfront
time, lunch, and Bible stories. A child
may come for one week, or can receive
a discount by attending more than one
session. The more weeks you attend,
the more you save! Come join us for
a daily adventure, tailored specifically
for a 5 to 10 year old age group, and
experience many of the wonderful life
changing stories from the Bible!
Leaders-In-Training
Ages 15-18 • June 19 - Aug 12 • $300
If you are between the ages of 15 to 18 years old and would like to make an
impact on your world for Christ, then consider a Michindoh special program
that is developed to enhance your own faith as you build into the lives of
others. The Michindoh “Leader in Training” discipleship program will allow
you to experience the fun of summer camp while training you in the development of your leadership skills. As you serve others, God will encourage and
build within you His own good work! Not only will you be trained and serve
alongside our summer camp staff and leaders; but you will enjoy a special
camping trip designed specifically for you as a Leader in Training. You can
spend your summer making a positive difference in the lives of Michindoh
campers while making incredible life changes in your own walk with Christ.
