What’s a summer without a week
at Laurel Ridge? Our summer
camps continue to be one of our
most popular programs, drawing
youth from all over the United
States, Canada, and Central
America.
For 50 years campers have grown
in their spiritual faith, found
lifelong friends, dedicated and
rededicated their lives to
Christ, and grown to know Laurel
Ridge as a very special place.
Summer camps continue thanks to
a dedicated group of volunteers
who serve as counselors, deans,
nurses, interest group leaders,
and program support.
Laurel Ridge offers week-long
residential summer camps for
children ages 7 to 18. Each week
campers are able to explore and
strengthen their faith in a
community that is supportive and
nurturing. They are also able to
connect with their environment
as they participate in outdoor
activities such as swimming,
hiking, caving, and canoeing.

JUNIOR CAMPS For children who
have completed grades 3-5
Camp Fee - $350
Junior Campers learn more about
God and their faith through
Bible stories, skits, and small
groups. They also participate in
arts and crafts, swimming,
canoeing, hiking, campfires,
wood-working, fishing, archery
and more. Campers can choose a
daily interest group ranging
from drama, playing a folk
instrument, tin-smithing,
Moravian crafts, sports,
wood-burning, Ukrainian eggs,
orienteering, or batik and
beading. These early friendships
and mountain-top experiences
last a lifetime.
JUNIOR HIGH CAMPS For youth
who have completed grades 6-8
Camp Fee - $350
Junior High 1, July 4-10
Junior High 2, August 8-14
 Junior High camps offer
interactive, participatory
opportunities for campers to
explore their developing Christian faith. The daily
program and small group
experiences focus on the basics
of a relationship with God
through Jesus Christ. This is
done through Bible study and
different activities. The effect
of such a relationship on home,
school, church and the world is
explored. Junior High camp is a
unique opportunity for middle
school youth to experience
"community" away from most of
today's media driven
entertainment and communication
devices. In community, free from
distractions, campers have the
chance to experience God's grace
and love in uncluttered ways.
SENIOR HIGH CAMP For youth
who have completed grades 9-12
Camp Fee - $350
July 18-24
 Senior High camp is experiential
in nature. Campers explore their
relationship with God through
Jesus Christ in worship, Bible
study, prayer, spiritual
practices, mountain surroundings
and personal interactions. The
program is offered by a Moravian
minister, usually from another
province, which gives campers a
unique opportunity to forge a
relationship with a Moravian
from another part of the
country. A major component of
Senior High camp is experiencing
the beauty and stillness of
mountaintop community away from
the distractions of today's
fast-paced, technologically
driven culture; such
distractions are purposely kept
to a minimum. There are few
opportunities for high school
students to be in relationship
with one another in such an
environment and it is
life-changing for many youth.
