Twinlow Day Camp is a wonderful opportunity for children ages 5 to 12 during the summer months.  Twinlow offers 9 consecutive weeks of fun, excitement, and educational opportunities for your child.  Each week has a different theme and activities along with traditional camp activities.

Day Camp allows opportunities for children and younger youth to experience the enjoyment and enrichment a camp program offers.  Day Camp also allows younger children the camp experience without being away from home for long periods of time or being away overnight.  Working parents have the opportunity for supervised care in an engaging environment during the summer months.

Day Camp allows nurturing, fun, and individual growth in key areas of a child’s life.  We believe camp enriches lives!  Benefits and anticipated outcomes for your child include:

  • Spiritual growth  

  • Social skills development

  • Self-respect and character building

  • Cognitive growth

  • Emotional growth

  • Community living and life skills

Each session will offer swimming, boating, crafts, games, Bible stories, and various activities surrounding the special theme.  Twinlow Camp provides a nutritious lunch and 2 snacks each day.

Rates

Each week’s cost depends on the number of children from one immediate family attending and the number of weeks the child is attending.  For example, if two siblings were each attending four weeks of Day Camp, the cost for the first child would be $140 each week and the cost for the second child would be $130 each week.  Please contact the camp about available scholarships; we want to give every opportunity for each child to attend camp.
