Six-Day Sessions Planned for 2025
/We are excited about this change for 2025. Our week-long Christian (Presbyterian USA) summer sessions will end on FRIDAY instead of Saturday. This will accomplish a couple of things:
It provides an almost normal work week for the cabin leader staff - allowing them adequate time off between sessions,
We can have families and other short-term groups on site during popular summer weekends..
Two six-day sessions are planned. A $100 deposit reserves your child’s place. There is a 15% discount for those who register by November 30 or a 10% discount if you register by December 31.
SIX-DAY OVERNIGHT CAMP
Our six-day summer sessions for kids ages 8 to 14. Each session is a blend of outdoor adventure, environmental education, faith building, and a whole lot of fun. Campers will have opportunities to experience archery, canoeing, kayaking, corcl (little round boat) games, ropes course, skits, songs, crazy games, crafts, worship, and a whole lot more.
Sound View summer camp offers a safe space for all kids age 8-14. Campers are led by our wonderful camp counselors through an array of adventurous programming throughout their week at camp. We offer picturesque sea views during boating, stomach dropping excitement on our high ropes activities, and laser focus at our archery range. On top of that, we incorporate faith building, arts & crafts, tie dye, field games, campfire and more.
These camps are Christian in nature reflecting the Presbyterian (USA) Church denomination.. Families uncomfortable with Christian camping should consider our non-religious three-day session instead.
At Sound View, we take pride in our rustic facilities. Your camper will sleep in either a “tent cabin” or a classic platform tent. Every camper has a chance to establish their own boundaries and norms for the week, alongside their cabin mates and counselor, ensuring a positive, fun and safe community at camp.
With a capacity of 56 campers, our camp is big enough for your kiddos to make new friends, while maintaining camp friendships from years past. Sound View welcomes everyone to make camp their home away from home.
SUNDAY
Campers spend their Sunday afternoon getting acquainted in with their new bunkmates, cabin leaders, and the camp grounds. We focus on icebreakers, building community norms and picking our activity schedules for the week. Sunday ends with an all camp campfire at the waterfront.
MONDAY through WEDNESDAY
We follow a simple routine for these days at camp. In the morning, we wake up with plenty of time to get ready for our action packed days. We meet in the tent village for a morning gathering - usually some song singing and prayer. All 3 meals will be eaten outside under shady canopies. Your camper has the opportunity to pick their own “progressive” basically, an activity they will gain skill with each day. Last year those were Survival, Sports, Arts and Crafts and Expedition, these may be changed or altered for 2025. Campers do one progressive, two cabin activities and one camper’s choice activity each day. In the afternoon, all campers have a much needed rest period. In the evening, we play a different all camp game each night. We wrap our long days up with a campfire and bedtime routines..
THURSDAY
We make Thursdays (the last full day of camp) really special. This is the only day that everyone at camp is together, all day! We plan all camp events like water Olympics, kangaroo court, dance, Sojourners ceremonies, and closing campfire. Parents can opt to pick up their kids late Thursday night if this is more convenient.
FRIDAY
Fridays are for final goodbyes, packing, and a 9:00 am - 12:00 pm pick up window. During this time, there will be activities and pick-up games on the play field. Parents should be prepared for a car ride home with wonderful stories told.
We can likely accommodate another pickup time that works better for your family, please contact us if this applies to you. Even better, reserve a cabin, RV site, or tent site and continue the fun with the rest of your family over the weekend!
