Why come to HRYC?

For Campers

Why come to HRYC?

"It's a place where you can go and just forget about everything holding you back and focus on why we were put here in the first place and just to praise our God."

"A great place to make new friends, and not be judged, while connecting more with God in the process."

"Camp is like Christmas. You look forward to it every year, and don't want it ever end!"

"A lot of Jesus, friends, growing, laughing, learning, fun and chicken paprikas."

Evening Programs

SUNDAY - KEYNOTE - Introductions, instructions, an Important Message, ice breakers, games and snacks. It's how we get to know each other.

MONDAY - INITIATION - All new participants are welcomed into the Camp family through a silly initiation on Monday night. It's harmless fun that everyone goes through their first year & then laughs about every year after. New people should bring clothes that can get wet/messy to wear this evening.

TUESDAY - The Staff will Collaborate for an evening of fun games or challenges for campers to enjoy.

WEDNESDAY - PIZZA PARTY - In the Meeting House, we'll have plenty of loud music, games, contests, food & fun.

THURSDAY - GYM OR SWIM - Campers will choose either a night swim, or free play at the Shenandoah gym building. Swimmers will bring dry clothes & sneakers to change into after swimming... they will join the gym crowd to enjoy snacks & to wrap up the evening.

FRIDAY - CONSECRATION SERVICE - This is an evening church service to end our week at Camp. There will be Holy Communion. You may wish to dress up for this event, but it is not mandatory. Before the service, find a small stick that will represent your sins. At the proper time, you'll throw the stick into the fire as a symbol of repentance.
