SUMMARY:Shrine Mont Camp: St. Andrew's Session
DESCRIPTION:For campers ages 8-11. \nSt. Andrew’s is a “family style” program for younger campers who need higher levels of structure and one-to-one support. Campers at St. Andrew’s live in a Shrine Mont cottage and enjoy days filled with the same activities\, games\, and friendships one finds at all Shrine Mont Camps. Walks through the woods\, trips to the pool\, game time\, daily chaplain’s and worship times are all part of the daily schedule – just on a smaller scale than our traditional camp model. \nThis is a wonderful way for a camper to be introduced to an overnight camp\, or for campers who otherwise would struggle in a bigger environment to have a wonderful experience! \nPrices\, scholarship information\, and registration are available on the camp website.
