Camp Programs Information:

Residential Camp Housing
Camp Aldersgate is a rustic camping program with varying types of housing.  All adventure programs are run from our outpost campsites with campers sleeping in tents or three sided shelters.  All other campers will stay in one of three areas of camp:  the retreat center in bunk rooms and indoor bathrooms,  waterfront cabins with large bunkrooms and a short walk to indoor bathrooms, or the woodside cabins with small bunkrooms and a short walk to indoor bathrooms.  Housing varies each week with the different program offerings and number of campers attending each week. We do our best to meet each bunkmate request that is made.  

Residential Camps
Our residential summer camps are divided into three different categories.  We have our general camps for Elementary, Jr. High, and Sr. High campers that are called Camper’s Choice.  For these camps you will have a specialty area that you sign up for every week.  Another category is Adventure Camps. These camps are exciting adventures in the Aldersgate woods where you will learn many great camping skills.  Our last category are our Specialty camps, where you will find adventure, friends, and special skill camps.
 


Camper’s Choice Camps

The “Camp Aldersgate Experience” has many different layers, but one core value ... community.  Our new general camps offer each camper a community experience with his/her age group & an individual experience with their specialty area choice, so we’ve decided to call these camps “Camper’s Choice”.  Find the week that works for you, pick your specialty area & fill out the registration form. While at camp you will spend 2-3 hours each day in your specialty area group & all other camp activities with your cabin mates.  Each specialty area will be offered every week Camper’s Choice camp is available.           

Weeks available:  June 21 –26, July 12-17, July 19-24, August 2-7
