STAY
FOR THE DAY
DAY CAMp
Day camp at Camp Appalachia provides kids going into Kindergarten through completion of the 5th grade and chance to grow, learn, and explore in a safe, structured, faith-based environment. When your child attends day camp, they join a community that cares for them, prays for them, and builds them up. More than a place to have fun and make memories, day camp helps kids make friends, grow in confidence, learn how to take appropriate risks, and unleash their imagination in a creative and collaborative outdoor setting.

Camp family Groups
Bobcats: Kindergarten- 1st grade
Our youngest family unit in Day Camp, the Bobcats experience is optimized for making friends and learning about respect. Favorite activities like parachute games, mosquito tag, and sharks and minnows ensure lots of fun, while opportunities to play in the pool and take a short canoe ride help build confidence.
Coyotes: 2nd-3rd grade
New activities like archery and Lake time are available to Coyotes. This group is introduced to learning about nature in our outdoor learning center where they are taught basic camping skills like finding food, water, and building shelter.

Bears: 4th-5th grade
The oldest campers at Day Camp, Bears take full advantage of everything Day Camp has to offer. Climbing the climbing wall and water gun naval battle on the lake are only some of the activities lumberjacks enjoy.
