Elementary Mini Overnight Camp
7-9 years old
Elementary Mini Overnight Camp is a shortened version of our weeklong elementary resident camp. This four day, three night camp is a fun introduction for our first-time or younger campers. Activities are geared with group interaction in mind, so that campers are encouraged to make friends with other group members, and they will stay busy from morning to night. Most activities are similar to the full week Elementary Resident camp where campers share in activities such as boating, swimming, tree climb, zipline, arts & crafts, hiking, challenge course, campfires, talent show (Thursdays) and more. Campers will meet with the pastor once during their stay to hear stories about Jesus Christ and to ask questions about church and the Bible.
Resident campers are organized in family groups. For Elementary Mini Camp, each family group typically consists of 6-8 boys and 6-8 girls with a male and female counselor. Mini Camp family groups participate in all activities and meals together and are housed separately by gender in bunk style lodging. Campers who register for both sessions in the same week must be picked up during Wednesday morning check-out and return during Wednesday afternoon check-in.

Elementary TKO (Overnight) Camp
For 8-11 Years Old Campers
Come and be a part of the Camp Tekoa experience! Camp Tekoa has a progressive overnight camp program, which encourages campers to engage in age-appropriate activities, and allows them to be challenged physically, mentally, and spiritually year-after-year. Overnight campers learn parallel lessons between these activities and their own personal spiritual walk. It is easy to spend time learning and reflecting in God's natural world and to feel Christ's presence throughout the week.
Our Elementary TKO Campers will enjoy many on-site activities including boating, bouldering cave, arts and crafts, water games, swimming, hiking, low elements challenge course, outdoor cooking, campfires, talent shows and more. They are the youngest age group to participate in our high adventure challenge elements, including the tree climb and our 350 ft. lake zipline. See a Sample Schedule of events below.
Resident camps are organized in family groups. For Elementary TKO Camp, each family group typically consists of 6-9 boys and 6-9 girls with a male and female counselor. This type of structure promotes strong camper-to-camper and camper-to-staff relationships. Family groups participate in all activities and meals together and are housed separately by gender in bunk style cabins or lodges. Depending on registration numbers, some family groups are single-gendered. Family groups are organized by camper age and cabin mate requests within the Elementary TKO program.
