Wagon Train

Wagon Train is an unforgettable adventure for kids aged 8-11, set in the exciting Old West! Campers will sleep in covered wagons, enjoy thrilling activities like zip lining over our pond, archery, BB guns, kayaking, rappelling at Chipmunk Rock, exploring Fort Logan (our very own three-story island fort), and of course, an immersive game of D&G tag. Campers can also make crafts, visit the Trading Post, wander through our tree house, and compete in camp-wide recreation games. 

But Wagon Train is about more than fun—it’s a chance to grow in faith and build gospel foundations for life. Through engaging skits, campfire worship, and compelling teaching, campers will learn Biblical truths to transform their lives. Wagon Train creates an atmosphere where kids can be kids while making memories to last a lifetime.
