This is a very important part of camp. Having the students spend personal time with the Lord is the first required activity of each day of camp. We provide students with a quiet time guide that includes 3 parts: 1 - a passage of scripture to read, 2 - some explanation to help students grasp the importance and relevance for the passage, and 3 - some questions for personal application of the passage.

Our goal of this time is for everyone at camp to start the day off with the Father. Also, we hope to help students begin this pattern in their life after camp.

Only for the bold is just that, only for the bold. This is an intense plunge into Scripture very early in the morning that will challenge you and cause you to evaluate your relationship with Christ. This usually takes place in the middle of camp and all students and adults are invited to attend.

Throughout the whole schedule, morning celebration is the most ridiculous, least serious part of the day. This is another effort to influence the rest of the schedule for students. During this time there may be games for individuals, family groups, grades, churches, or the whole camp. There are often prizes, it is sometimes messy, and is always hilarious. Students are standing, jumping, screaming, and laughing throughout. We do not want any student at any point to get into coast mode and drift through a single minute of camp. Morning Cell is a fun way to encourage students to have a good time and put all they have into their time while at camp.

This is not your typical mickey mouse, ring around the rosie, VBS-like recreation we are talking about here. This is WRECK. The goal of the CC Wreckstaff is three-fold. 1-To create games that students can learn from. Whatever the main focus of that day of camp is, you had better believe that the Wreck game is going to be used as one huge object lesson for it. 2-To create games that are fun to play. No one likes to come expecting to participate in some intense competition only to find some kind of lame duck duck goose going on. 3-To create unique games that students have never played before and will likely never be played again.

We find the absolute best Bible teachers we can for this ultra important job. All of our teachers highly value God's holy and perfect Word. This is not lecture time. During this hour, students will be presented God's word in creative, engaging ways. Students will begin here to realize some of the application from the wreck game they just played.

By the end of the week, many students identify the family group time as the most significant part of camp. A family group is a cross mix of students of different genders, grades, and churches. This small group of students are paired with two adult leaders. These family groups compete with other family groups during the wreck time, then come back together later in the day to have a discussion time. This is the opportunity the students have to dialogue about the Bible study and how it applies to their life.

We have two separate "free times" each day. One in the afternoon and one in the evening. During this time students can participate in some of the different recreational activities the campus has to offer. Also, many students choose just to hang out in the student center or dorm lobbies. For those students who find themselves a little too tuckered out from the day's activities, a nap can be an attractive option as well. Let's not forget that the world-famous Mass Mess will take place during free time on Thursday.

The evening worship service is always the climax of the day at Cross Camp. It is where all of camp comes together to worship through music and the preaching of the Word. Passionate, sincere worship is a staple of Cross Camp. We make sure not to worship the music, the musicians, our emotions, or anything else other than the Lord. The preaching of God's word is taken very seriously. It is not done for the sake of entertainment or to cause any response except what comes from the Spirit of God.
