Here are the details about what you can expect from a week at camp. Once you're ready to sign up, just follow the link in the upper right hand corner to get started. What program is offered for elementary students? For our youngest campers we offer a week of residential camping at our site on Tuttle Lake in Marquette County, Wisconsin. Who may participate? This program is designed for boys and girls who have completed grades 3-6. When are the sessions? We offer three sessions for these young campers:
Session 1 (July 4-9)
Session 2 (July 20-25)
Session 3 (August 8-13)
Registration is from 2-4pm on Sunday afternoon and each session ends at 2pm on Friday afternoon. What is the capacity at Camp Indian Sands? We host 75 campers per session What is the cost of a week at camp?
Level 1 = $300
Level 2 = $330
Level 3 = $395 What are these pricing levels? We understand that families have differing abilities to pay for their child's camp experience. To better accommodate those financial needs we offer three price levels. Please consider selecting the highest tier that you can afford. While the level you select will in no way influence your child's experience it will allow us to best stretch our funding to improve the quality of each camper's experience. We feel that it is important to share with parents the true cost of a week at camp, allowing families to decide how much they can contribute. Level 1 represents our historically subsidized rate, level 2 represents a partially subsidized rate and level 3 most accurately reflects the true cost of a week at camp.
What do children do during their week at camp? Our daily schedule is located on the right hand column of this page. You can also expect the following from your week at camp. Campers encounter the outdoors through group games, swimming in our crystal clear lake, canoeing on our local river, nature activities and walking through the woods. Campers build relationships through large group activities, small group devotions and Bible study, and personal conversations. Campers grow through the encouragement and support of a 5:1, camper to staff ratio. (Our staff are thoughtfully recruited young men and women trained to offer a high quality experience for every one of their campers.) Additional activities include: art projects, outdoor living skills, campfire, swimming, fishing, archery, sailing and field games. All camp games include games like Capture the Flag and Water Olympics. What do campers eat while at camp? Our food service manager has provided healthy, tasty meals for campers, family groups and retreats for six years. We combine a balanced healthy diet with food that kids enjoy. All registrants have the opportunity to indicate food allergies and concerns in the registration process. What more can you tell me about community? We work hard to create a place where strong friendships are built among a diverse group of campers. We serve campers from different cultural, racial, and economic backgrounds. With staff members who reflect the diversity of campers we serve and a relatively small size of 75 campers per session, we feel we are well equipped to help each camper find their place in our camp community. Do you offer scholarship assistance? Yes. We believe that no camper should miss out on a week at camp due to financial need. Please contact our camp office for a scholarship request form or download a copy here. How do you make cabin assignments? Campers are assigned to a cabin group of 6-8 campers of the same gender and age. Campers may request a cabin mate on the registration form. We will do our best to honor those requests provided that campers are of the same gender and of a similar age. Is there a print version of the registration form? Yes. You may download the brochure here. Print copies are also available at many local churches. May I see the camp ahead of time? Yes. Join us for an opportunity to tour the camp, meet the staff and get your questions answered before camp begins. All are welcome. Pre-registration is appreciated. Dates are: Saturday, April 24th and Sunday, May 2nd, 2:00-4:00pm both days. What have you done to make sure you run a safe camp? While there are always risks when sending a child to camp, we have done our best to address those risks by following the professional camp standards developed by the American Camp Association. We are proud to be an accredited camp. For more on the work of the ACA, you can visit their site here.
