We believe strongly in running two separate camps, one serving boys and one serving girls. This single-gender approach has numerous benefits for the type of Christian camping experience we want to provide. While simply "letting boys be boys" is quite important to us, we see benefits that extend beyond this axiom. At a boys camp, the desire to impress females and to continue the lifestyle they know at home (for most) in a co-ed school is diminished. Our boys are more free to be themselves, to get dirty, to have fun, and to understand more clearly that God made them in His image - that he made them boys for a reason.
Boys and girls are not the same. In a single-gender camp, boys can pursue their interests without additional pressure in front of their female peers. A boys' camp develops a boy's uniqueness and individuality. Counselors at a boys' camp can teach effectively in ways that reach boys and cater to their learning style.
