No matter what camp you choose - Base Camp, Cowboy, Wrangler in Training, Wilderness, Aquatics or Abba’s Child - you’ll have an incredible time at camp this summer!
Base Camps
Drive a go-kart. Paint ceramics. Ride a horse. Paddle a canoe. Fly down our zip line. Swim in the pond. Drop 60 feet on our Goliath Swing. Test your courage on the quick jump. If you are looking for a camp experience that has a little bit of everything, then base camp is for you.
You’ll sleep in a cabin and make new friends with your cabin mates. A cool, kind counselor will be there to cheer you on and help you have fun. Be sure to sign up early, our base camps fill up fast!

This is the camp for outdoor adventure. Some campers sleep in our tents, but many choose to stay in the shelters they've made. During your mid-week backpack trek, you'll learn to cook your food over an open fire. While toilets and showers are available in the wilderness campsite, we don’t pack them along on the backpack trip.

Abba’s Child
Abba’s Child is designed to minister to children who have experienced the recent death of an immediate family member. The concept is simple; place a grieving child in a place where adventure abounds; surround them with people who understand and relate to what they are going through; then watch as they begin to open up and talk about their feelings.
Leoni Meadows is excited to be able to host this important ministry.
Ages: 10-14
Dates: July 21 - 28
Cost: All costs are paid for by Abba’s Child

Registration is from 3:30-5:30 p.m. on Sundays. Coming early? While we appreciate the enthusiasm, we are not set up to provide early registration. Please plan to be here until your child is registered. Your camper’s first meal here is Sunday supper and their last meal here is Friday supper. Check out is from 5-6 p.m. on Fridays during kids camps. If you can’t pick up your child by 6 p.m., we will provide child care for an additional $15 per 15 minutes. We want our staff to be at their best for our guests, which means we strive to give them ample time off to rest and recharge. Because of our time off schedules, we will not be able to accomodate extended camper care for those staying two or more consecutive weeks.
To ensure your child’s safety, campers are only allowed to leave after we verify that the photo ID of the adult picking them up matches your instructions to us. After you have checked your child out, we are excited to invite you to join us as a family for vespers at 6 p.m.

Deposits: A $50 deposit for each camp reserves your spot. This deposit goes toward your camp fees and is non-refundable. However, it may be transferred to a different week or camp.
Fees: The fees vary by camp but always include all activities and programming, and three yummy vegetarian meals a day. Purchases at the camp store, theme t-shirt, souvenir video and photo are not included.
Cancellation Policy: We work hard to make sure we have enough lodging, supplies and staff for each camper. Because of the expenses involved to do this, we cannot offer a full refund if your camper should need to leave early. We will, however, be able to offer a partial refund of 75% if they leave on Monday, 50% on Tuesday and 25% on Wednesday.

Our camp store offers souvenirs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, ice cream, and other great stuff. We encourage campers to keep any money they bring to camp in the “camp bank” for safety reasons. Money not spent is returned before checkout.
-
Our expectations for campers are simple: respect yourself, respect others and respect your environment. We have zero tolerance for bullying. Any type of physical aggression will result in that child being sent home immediately.
-
We sometimes photograph or record video and/or audio of campers and visitors for promotional purposes. Your presence at Leoni Meadows Camp grants permission for our use of these images and recordings.

Because kids come first at camp, we believe that no child should be turned away because of finances. Through generous support from friends and parents, a campership fund is available to help families with financial needs. For campership fund assistance call early since funds are limited. To contribute, you can go online to: leonimeadows.org or contact Craig Heinrich, our Executive Director.
