YOUTH NEW HORIZONS CAMP - JULY 11-16, 2010
Ages 14 to 24
Our Youth New Horizons Camp provides a welcoming Christian camping
environment to youth who are developmentally disabled and/or who are mildly,
physically disabled. Campers learn they are important creations of God and
explore the beauty of God's world.
In order to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, campers must
be able to care for their own personal needs (eating, dressing, and restroom
use) with minimal assistance and be able to participate in most camp activities.
Activities include swimming at the local pool, canoeing, games, archery, and
campfires.
The Directors, Cabin Leaders and Registered Nurse have been selected for their
skill and caring for the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of disabled
persons. The majority of our staff have had prior camp experience. All summer
staff participate in training events prior to the beginning of camp, complete an
application, have references checked, and submit to a Washington State Patrol
background check. The Site Staff working all summer perform jobs such as
kitchen assistants, archery instruction, craft instruction, and waterfront
instruction. Camp Burton has year-round personnel including office,
maintenance, kitchen, and housekeeping.
PLEASE NOTE: Registration will open in March of 2010, so please check back
for registration forms to download. See you next year!
