Consultation to Develop a Traveling Day Camp program at your camp

A traveling day camp takes camp "on the road" to a church for a week at a time. Your camp provides the staff and all program elements and the congregation provides hospitality for staff and recruitment of campers.

A two-day consultation equips you with all the tools and information you need to start a traveling day camp program. The consultation includes copies of the manual and a CD of forms and program ideas.
