Days are filled with activities like riding horses, creating arts and crafts, climbing up a 35' climbing wall, playing sports and games, flying down a 35' tall water slide, and so much more. Evenings consist of nationally recognized programs like the Trail of Five Fires, Honor Point, Embers, and Inspiration Point. All programs are backed by our Character Value Guarantee which states If your camper does not have a better understanding of the character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility from their camp experience, we will refund their camp fee. https://linktr.ee/desmoinesycamp

Fall Family Connection was one for the books🍂🎃

Between pumpkin picking, crafts, beautiful weather and quality time together, it was the perfect way to celebrate the changing of the seasons in the valley.

With about 100 campers in attendance, this was officially our largest Family Connection yet! It was so wonderful getting to meet so many new camper, and reconnect and catch up with the returning families. We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us for a weekend full of quality family time, new connections and endless memories!🧡
