Come to Camp Africa and experience life in a new way!

Kathy is putting together a staff to lead this event!  Should be a good time!

Camp Africa
Grades 4-7 in the fall of 2009
Live life in the African bush, take off on the The Wilds safari, cook African food on the fire, and gather around a village community of tribal crafts, worship, stores, dance, and music.  We will meet and learn from African people and missionaries about survival, life, and work on the continent.  Come for fun but also learn about Darfur, war, famine, hope, and the realities of life in parts of Africa.  Of course we will swim (no crocodiles!), do bush walks, and have our own amazing adventures as we “travel” to Africa.  Campers will share activities in the wider Camp Africa community of all ages (grades 4-10) at least once each day.  Come join our guide, Kathy Dickriede, for a week of adventure.  Live in Adirondack shelters or the NEW Survival Cabin.
July 26-31  Event #30825
Cost $319  Early Bird $299
