General Description: Calvary Camp is a general activities camp for kids looking to have fun every day in an environment that teaches community-building and models acceptance of differences. The campers live in cabins of 8 or 9 children with two counselors and participate in activities that may include swimming, swimming instruction, fine arts, tennis, athletics/sports, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, archery, team building/low ropes course and photography.
Safety: Camper safety is the number one concern at Calvary Camp. A Registered Nurse is on campus as a member of the staff whenever camp is in session. All staff members undergo a thorough orientation to review and drill safety and emergency procedures, and nearly all are certified in Red Cross First Aid and CPR. All water activities are supervised by Certified Lifeguards. 
Finally, Calvary Camp is accredited by the American Camping Association, a national organization that establishes safety and best-practice standards for camps.
