Resident Camp

At Camp Monroe, our Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program helps teens aged 14-17 grow into confident, capable, spiritual, leaders. CITs experience the best of both worlds – experiencing our activities and learning how to lead, serve, and make a difference in the lives of younger campers. During the first week of this program your CIT will go through “staff training” and learn how our activities work and how to lead bible studies. During the second week, your CIT will have more responsibilities and get the chance to be a co-counselor at Day Camp.

Tracks are one way how we ensure every camper has the most memorable experience at Camp Monroe! During registration, you will be able to choose which track your camper would be most interested in. Please note, depending on the number of campers and weather, campers may do activities outside their track.

(EXAMPLE) Adventure track may have a lake or pool day during a heat advisory, instead of doing high ropes).

1. Adventure Track – Designed for campers who love a challenge and the great outdoors. Through our adventure activities such as our Giant Swing, High Ropes Course, Zip-line, and Rock Wall, campers will build confidence, courage, and leadership skills while exploring nature new thrilling ways. Each day brings a new adventure that encourages campers to step out of their comfort zone and discover what they’re capable of.

2. H2O Track – (Although we do not condone diving at our camp) Dive into our water-based H2O track and make a splash this summer with us! Kayaking, Canoeing, Paddle Boarding and Dock Jumping are a few of our lake activities along with our lake slide, slip and slide, Iceberg, and fishing. Always under the supervision of our Red Cross Certified Lifeguards, your camper will gain confidence in their swimming, teamwork, and leadership abilities.

3. Sampler Track – Can’t decide between land and water? Love a little but of everything? Try it all! This track lets your camper dive into both adventure and water fun. One day might be a lake day while the other you’re at the tower, or you might be at the giant swing in the morning and the pool in the afternoon. It’s the ultimate Camp Monroe experience – variety, excitement, and nonstop fun!

Campers love receiving packages and mail from their family! Our staff does mail call every day at lunch (12 noon).
