This is going to be the best week of your summer! Your Camp Geneva adventure begins with getting to know your enthusiastic, college-age counselor who is fired up to spend the week with you. The most significant part of your journey will be when you and your counselor look at what it means to live a life for Jesus.

 You'll make new friends as you chase each other around camp in a giant game of Capture the Flag. When you need to cool off, take a dip in Lake Michigan, plunge into the pool, start a water battle in the spash park, float around the lazy river, or careen down the slip n' slid. Take a break with your friends, head to the camp store and grab a Slushie. Get creative in arts & crafts and tie-dye a t-shirt, build a birdhouse, or just go crazy and create something on your own. Try your skills at a game of soccer, basketball, nuke 'em, box hockey, or archery. Of course, there will still be time to laugh 'til it hurts and to sing your favorite songs during Songs & Skits, roast a s'more by the campfire with your cabinmates, and catch the sunset over Lake Michigan to finish it all off. The camp fee covers all camp expenses including a theme t-shirt, an 8x10 group photo, and daily arts & crafts options.

Creativity Week: July 19-23, we will have a special week at Geneva Shores.
Creativity week focuses on how we are created in God's image and that being creative is one way that this is expressed. We also talk about how we can use our creativity to show God to the world. This becomes the focus of the message that the chaplain gives during our evening songs and skits worship time. Our chaplain does a great job of making this time an interactive and creative time for the campers.
During the week we also offer interest groups every afternoon. Each day there will be a couple of creativity-focused options alongside some of our more traditional camp options. These may include some of the visual arts, improvisation, and other activities. Counselors will often make plans for their cabin activity that relate to this creativity theme as well.
