Typical Day at Camp Advent
Here is a brief overview of what a day at Camp Advent looks like:
Each day begins in the sanctuary with all of the youth gathered together. Camp Tomah Shinga counselors lead the group in camp songs, a brief prayer, and a warm welcome. At 9:30 a.m., campers break into their age-based groups and begin rotating through activities.
​ Morning rotations typically include an age-appropriate Bible lesson, crafts, and games, with a snack break in between. Around midday, campers enjoy approximately 45 minutes to an hour for lunch, followed by free outdoor play.
​ In the afternoon, groups rotate through three additional activities, which usually include games and/or a craft. The day concludes around 2:30 p.m. as everyone comes back together for a Bible story, prayer, and songs before dismissal.
​ Water Wednesday is a camper favorite! On this day, children spend about half the day outdoors participating in water games and activities, definitely a highlight of the week. 💦
