WELCOME TO ASBURY SUMMER CAMP 2008

“Beautiful!” is one of the first words spoken by first-time campers and their families as they arrive at Camp Asbury. Returning campers often feel a strong emotional “tug” as they re-enter Asbury’s driveway. “It feels like home!” Kinships with Asbury’s natural beauty, programs, and people run deep.

For three generations, building a sense of belonging and community has driven the design and delivery of Asbury’s summer programs. Asbury continues to embrace the value of camping in small groups. Asbury’s programs are progressive—challenging maturing campers to try new activities each year. Asbury’s programs honor multiple-intelligence learning—whether your daughter or son is a mathematician, an active learner, a writer, an artist, or a naturalist, he or she will have fun and learn new skills at camp. Asbury’s resident programs feature a variety of accommodations: cabins, modern retreat center or rustic camping.

Asbury Program Guide:

Day Camp (Grades 1-3, and grades 4-6): Connect with the natural world and have fun outdoors. Attend one-week or summer-long. A great stepping-stone to Asbury’s residential programs.

Core Programs (Grades 2-7): “Discovery”, “Village”, and “Pioneer.” On-site outdoor activities that utilize the resources and program areas of Camp Asbury’s beautiful 433 acres. Live as cabin groups.

Themed Programs, Art and Nature Programs (Grades 4-12): Focus on a particular theme or learning style with time for traditional camp activities.

Rustic Programs (Grades 8-12): Nothing brings a group together like a week of roughing it in the woods, in close contact with the natural world.

Trip Camps (Grades 7-12): Grow community and sharpen outdoor living skills through off-site adventure.
 

A Navajo blessing fits the Asbury experience, “With beauty before me, with beauty behind me, with beauty below me, with beauty above me, with beauty around me, I set out for a holy place indeed.” This summer you’re invited to walk with beauty at Camp Asbury! And may you return over and over again to a place that feels like home!
