Summer Camps for Children and Teens – Creating Harmonious Community Life
The Christian Community has been hosting summer camps in North America for over 50 years. There are and have been camps in Ontario, Canada, on the East Coast, Midwest and in Colorado and California. Each camp has its own character connected with its setting, staff and duration of the camp. Check each individual camp to see the appropriate age range for that camp.
The intention is to bring children and teens out of an urban environment into nature to experience the world in new and healthy ways. The strong daily and weekly rhythms, the caring interest of counselors, the singing, the stories, the crafts, the wide-ranging activities carry the children through the two-three weeks of camp. Campers are divided into groups and will spend the whole camp together with their group. Each group has a counselor (or two) who will be with their group continuously, eating, sleeping and doing activities.

Laughter, song, adventure, and everlasting connections are just a few joys of our beautiful summer camp experience! Started over forty years ago by Rev. Gisela Wielki, Harmony Lake Children’s Camp offers a wonderful learning experience for any child ages 8 to 13. At camp, children learn from counselors and peers to appreciate real connections, the beauty of song, the love of adventure, and much more–all while in the embrace of Mother Nature.

Camp Tamarack has been offering the Waldorf Community a quality wilderness experience for children 9-15 years old since 1971. Camp Tamarack is surrounded by granite peaks and tall pine trees. Children form life-long friendships while experiencing the outdoors by hiking to stunning sites and swimming in nearby water holes and lakes.
With a healthy rhythm of the day, we cultivate a wholesome and joyful community. Morning and evening gatherings greet and conclude each day with story and song. During the day, children are involved in group projects and activities under the guidance of their counselors. Activities include: arts and crafts, drama, horseback riding, archery, games, dancing, hiking, fishing, swimming, canoeing, overnight camp-outs and campfires.

Providing a place where children ages 8 to 14 can experience nature, sleep in cabins, cook meals, swim, canoe, play games, make handicrafts, listen to storytellers, and sing, sing, sing!
Together we sing, tell stories, create beautiful projects, swim, canoe, build bonfires, joke, play games, and get to know one another both in groups and as a whole. Campers do activities with their counselors in age groups of 5 to 10 children: they eat wholesome and delicious meals with their groups, go on hiking and canoeing adventures together, and create a family away from home that results in friendships that last for years to come.
