PREECEVILLE — Ketchen Lake Bible Camp will be welcoming campers back for another season of camping and fellowship.
The camp will be running both overnight and day camps. The overnight camps are available for campers from:
July 6 to 10 for teen camp, ages 12 to 18;
July 13 to 17 for intermediate camp, ages 10 to 12;
July 20 to 24 for squirt camp, ages 7 to 9;
July 27 to 31 for Camp Camo, ages 12 to 18;
Aug. 17 to 21 for 24/7 camp, ages 12 to 18.
“Space is limited," said Elaine Brewer, camp director.
The camp will host a one-week day camp session from Aug. 10 to 14 and is open to children ages 6 to 12.
New this year is an Athletes in Motion basketball camp to be held from Aug. 3 to 7.
“At camp, we seek to offer programs that meet the needs in our surrounding communities. Camp Camo is an opportunity to provide both useful and vital skills to all the campers. We offer archery, riflery and other shooting competitions, and outdoor survival skills. We eat meals prepared on the open fire, sleep in tents, make survival tools, and enjoy skill instruction and a great competition,” said Brewer.
"We are looking forward to a great season with camp activities in full swing for the summer. The camp offers all-terrain pedal go-karts and remote-control cars. Last year, we introduced laser tag and a massive water toy, known as Jungle Joe. We are hopeful that the two new cabins, one for girls and one for boys, will be completed and ready for use,” said Brewer.
"Excitement is building, and everyone is looking forward to camp at KLBC this summer. We are looking for head cooks, which is a paid position, and desperately need senior staff members," concluded Brewer.
The camp was founded in 1941, and its mission is to help families, especially youth and children, by leading them in a week of fellowship in a Christian setting.
