This is the perfect camp for the high school student looking for a relaxing week with friends. Stay in the air-conditioned cabins, take a trip to a nearby lake, explore a local cave, and enjoy all that camp has to offer. From archery to high ropes to kayak polo, this camp allows campers the chance to take in the best activities of camp at their own relaxed pace.

Let’s slow life down a little bit. Let’s take the time to lay in the sun at the lake, to sit with friends to share our hopes and struggles during Bible study, and to laugh together around a cookout fire. Let’s enjoy the wind over the water at Frog Pond in a kayak or talk about the future as we lay under the stars. This is what Seniors camp is all about.

Dates & Rates

We know that every family has different abilities and resources to pay for camp, which is why Camp Bear Creek has a voluntary three-tiered pricing program. Choose the price that best fits your family’s budget. No matter which price is selected, all campers receive the same camp experience.

Camp Life

As high school students, life can be pretty busy. You’ve got sports and school work and AP classes and music recitals. You’re thinking about the future and what comes next. At Seniors camp, we’re all about letting the world spin without us for awhile. We’re enjoying the moment, growing together, and having fun along the way. Explore a cave, float in the pool, try your hand at archery, and spend a moment in worship. For one week this summer, let’s be ourselves right here, right now.

Camp Meals

Meals at camp are about more than just filling our bellies. When we gather around the table, we build community, engage in conversation, share ideas, strengthen relationships, and cultivate empathy. All of our meals are served family style, and we are intentional about taking this time to share food, conversation, and laughter with each other. We do our best to make sure our meals are kid-friendly and nutritious, and we can accommodate most dietary restrictions or needs. At Seniors camp, campers will eat most of their meals in the dining hall, but they’ll also have the opportunity to cook one or two meals over a fire during the week!

I can’t say enough about Camp Bear Creek and the effect it has had on my life. God is so good. This summer I found what makes me the happiest.

My son made some very close friendships there and is still in touch with and gets together with peers he met at camp. It’s not just a social thing. They all made a close connection because God was a part of their camp experience. They were all able to share and practice their Christian values.

I send my kids every year because of how much my kids LOVE the time there – away from parents and school. They have the ability to be themselves without judgement.

I send my kids to camp because of the amazing memories I have as a camper. It’s about being able to experience the love of Christ and growing in my faith while creating memories with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are the most frequently asked questions by parents about Seniors camp at Bear Creek. If you still have questions after reading this information, please call the Camp Office at (563) 488-3893 or email us at office@campwyoming.net.

Check-in is on Sunday at 3pm at Deer Center (the dining hall). Don’t worry! Even if you’ve never been here before, staff will be stationed at the entrance of the camp to make sure you know where you’re going. We do our best to get everyone checked-in and moved in as efficiently as possible. You can help us out by making sure your camp fees are paid and paperwork is completed two weeks before you arrive. Bring any medication your child needs (it must be in the original container) to check-in in a bag labeled with their first and last name. Leave all other belongings in your car until you’re ready to move into your cabin. Every camper will get a new camp shirt to wear for their first day of camp!

Check out is on Friday at 3pm at Deer Center. First, we begin with a closing ceremony. Parents, this is your first glimpse into your camper’s week. We’ll sing some songs, celebrate some special people in our camp community, hand out milestone awards, and watch a video with photos and highlights of their week at camp. After the ceremony, you’ll be able to sign out your camper, talk with their counselors, meet their new camp friends, purchase items from the camp store, and load up all their belongings before you head for home.

Seniors campers stay in cabins! Our cabins have eight bunk beds per cabin, are air-conditioned, and have private changing rooms. Bathrooms are a short walk away at a nearby lodge. Camp counselors stay in the cabins with the kids. If you want more information, check out this video where our Program Director, Jake, sets up his own bed in a cabin!

Of course! Camp is always better with friends! When you sign up for camp, you’ll notice a spot on your registration form that asks if you would like to be placed in the same group with a friend. Make sure you write their name down, and tell them to write yours!

There’s so much adventure and excitement to be had at camp. Of course, you’ll get to do things like meet new friends, play games, and try new things. Some camp activities are daily (like Bible study or swimming) while other things might be done just once or a few times during the week (like kayaking or archery). Activity Hour is the time when campers get to choose what they would like to do from a list of options. Color Wars are our all-camp games that we play together every evening. Of course, things like weather can impact schedules and activities that we are able to run, but in general, Seniors Campers can look forward to archery, high ropes, swimming, human foosball, arts & crafts, Bible study, games, Super Wacky Adventure Time (SWAT), sling shots, kayak polo, nature, team building, worship, cooking a meal over a fire, activity hour, GaGa, 9-Square, caving, earth ball, trip to Central Park Lake, and color wars.

We can absolutely provide alternatives for most dietary restrictions and allergies. When you sign up for camp, please make sure to indicate on your health form any dietary needs you might have so that our kitchen can plan and prepare before you arrive.
