A thought from our Camp Director... Why OnTrack Camp?
"A big focus of the OnTrack program is to help campers to understand their personal role underneath leadership in their life, to understand the need for personal responsibility, and to learn to control their actions and words. Learning early that good choices bring good results is paramount to building a strong foundation for life. Our trained staff will guide them on their fun learning journey. We have a better then 3 to 1 staff / camper radio to ensure that campers are safe and have their needs met individually. Each camper will participate in evening chapel services, where they will hear preaching and be challenged from the Word of God. In Addition to chapel, campers will also have nightly group devotions and personal devotions each morning before they start their day. This program, along with each program we have, is designed to point the camper to a real and lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. We want to assist parents and churches in developing Godly character in the lives
An Overview of the 9-days
The first 3 days are focused on relationship building, team building, and a light introduction to outdoors in the Appalachian forests. On the first day campers will be introduced to their guide staff and meet their new teammates as they embark on an adventurous 9-days of excitement and learning. They will load all their luggage and personal belongings onto camp trucks and begin the one-mile hike into camp on foot. After a brief orientation campers will then get a first glance at their new living quarters as they make their way to our challenge course to play some get-acquainted games and begin some team building challenges.
Throughout the entire 9-day journey, campers are always supervised and never have "free time". Every minute of the day is scheduled and purposed. From the "Rise and Shine" bugle in the morning to the closing campfire devotions each night, campers are on a targeted course toward building lasting values and core character traits that are essential to a God-honoring life. Each part of the learning process is bathed in fun and excitement and is designed to help the camper have a desire to learn and grow. Campers will often be pushed to new levels of achievement through team competitions and personal rewards.
As the program progresses and days begin to pass campers will soon realize that each of the 9 days are themed with a particular core character quality. An entire day's games, activities, preaching, adventures and devotion times will be unified to point at one quality that they can add to or perfect in their individual lives. Campers will focus on truth, respect, attitude, kindness, obedience, gratefulness and much more. The goal is to bring into check natural misbehavior flaws like, whining, back-talk, fits, disobedience, pride, lying, hitting, anger, revenge, selfishness, obstinance and other such behavior.
Throughout the program campers will be exposed to outdoor life and fun activities such as, Archery, Hiking, Overnight Tent Trip, Zip Line, Climbing Wall, Challenge Course, Bible Preaching, Forest Games, BB Guns, Fire Building, Knot Classes, Pocket Knife Classes, Scripture Memory, Water Balloon Wars, Crazy Games, Campfire Singing, Character Classes and so much more. As camp begins to wind toward the final days of the program, things begin to slow down a bit as campers are asked to focus on home and the fact they they will soon be entering back into "real life". Staff will encourage campers to examine what they have learned and what they might need to change when they return home.
The last 24 hours of the OnTrack program is an amazing time for campers. The last evening together as a group is spent around what we call a "testimony fire". Campers can share with the group what the Lord has done in their lives during the past 8 days. They will laugh and share funny memories and often talk about how grateful they are for the time they got to spend at camp. This encouraging time of reflection is often a time when campers mentally and spiritually seal the decisions they made that can then become lasting life-long traits.
