JUNIOR HIGH CAMPS For youth who have completed grades 6-8 Junior
High 1, June 22-28 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 junior high age youth to experience "community" away from most of today's media driven entertainment and communication devises. There are few other opportunities today available for youth to do so. 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 July 13-19 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 this mountain top community away from the distractions of today's fast paced, technologically driven culture. Such distractions are purposely kept to the minimum. There are few other such opportunities for senior highs today to be in relationship with one another in such an environment. It is life changing for many youth.

Summer Camps at Laurel Ridge continue to be our most popular and highest
attended program. For 47 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. This program continues
with the help of a dedicated group of volunteers, an M-Staff with a sense
of calling to work there, and a staff committed to making summer camp
at Laurel Ridge a very special and memorable time.
PRE-JUNIOR CAMPS For children completing grades 1 and 2.
