Your place to chill out this winter. With a slower pace and more intimate programming, Camp Monadnock is a chance for students to disconnect from everyday life and connect with God and each other.
An essential part of any youth group programming, a weekend at winter camp has a snowball effect on the growth of your students.
Yes, winter camp at both Camp Berea and Camp Monadnock is designed around group activities and group bonding. However, we welcome all kinds of groups, from church groups to parent-led small groups.
No! Though youth groups/student ministries make up a large percentage of our attendees, we love welcoming parent-led groups as well. If you’re 1) a group 2) of youth, we’re here for you!
Nope. We follow Jesus’s definition of “if two or three are gathered.” :) Each group is required to have at least one leader per group, so the smallest group possible is one parent and one student.
Both programs contain the key elements of an unforgettable and life-changing camp: winter fun and games, compelling Gospel teaching and worship, and group bonding. However, each camp has its own personality, designed to reflect the personality of the different groups that attend. Deep Freeze tends to be faster paced and higher energy, while Encounter has more space for relaxation, unscheduled time, and deep connection. You really can’t go wrong with either!
We require a ratio of 1 leader per 10 students. Groups must have a leader for each accommodation, so if you bring both male and female campers, you must also bring a male and female leader.
Deep Freeze and Encounter are for junior and senior high students (6th-12th grade).
At Camp Berea, we have one weekend called Discover Deep Freeze (March 21-23) for elementary school students.
Winter camp takes place over a weekend, from Friday to Sunday.
Groups arrive between 7:00 and 9:00pm on Friday evening and depart Sunday afternoon at 1:00pm.
Your group will stay together in camper housing, with at least one leader staying in the cabins with the campers. Housing is cabin or dorm style, with campers sleeping in bunk beds.
Yes, all meals are included, starting with breakfast on Saturday and going through lunch Sunday (5 meals total). Our chefs are all ServeSafe certified.
Fill out a simple form telling us about your group and your estimated number of campers. We require a $25 deposit per estimated camper to hold your spot. Your $25/person deposit also locks in your early bird rate for all group members. Final payment for all students is due upon arrival at camp.
Once you register your group, we’ll provide you with a registration link to send your students who plan to attend camp. This is where they will fill out health forms, waivers, etc.
We do not collect payment from students when they register. Group leaders are responsible for collecting payment from their group members and paying the balance for all campers in their group upon arrival at camp.
