Junior Camps, designed for 3rd-6th* graders is a great opportunity to spend time at Calvin Crest enjoying the many things it has to offer. If your child is in 6th* grade, please make sure that they are comfortable with the younger ages and won’t feel like they are too old. Campers stay in air-conditioned cabins with college-aged summer staff that have been extensively screened and trained.

*We recognize that some 6th Graders in area schools are still included in Elementary schools and regularly participate in activities with younger children.  For these kids, one more year of Junior Camp might be the right choice.  Other 6th Grades are well versed in Middle School life, attending Middle School and participating in sports or other activities with older youth.  For these 6th Graders, Junior High Camp might be the better option.  You know your child best!  Please choose the camp that best reflects their experience and desire. 

Junior Camp is offered for two different weeks.

June 8-13 offers a traditional camp experience as well as a ranch camp experience. Registration closes one week prior to the event on June 1, 2025

June 15-20 offers 3 Majors (options) that allow campers to specialize in what interests them. See below for descriptions of the Majors.

Ukulele Major (add $95 to registration fee)—Learn the basics of the baritone Ukulele in group lessons. Play along with your favorite campfire songs each evening. Every camper will go home with their own new baritone ukulele.

RC Cars (add $95 to registration fee)—Spend your mornings learning how to operate an RC (Remote Control) car. Each camper will receive a new RC Car to use during the week and take home with them. Race against other campers, build obstacles and trails to navigate and enjoy the world of RC cars.

Ranch Camp (add $125 to registration fee)—Spend your mornings at nearby Camp Cedars with their horses. Under the direction of their trained wranglers, campers learn about, care for and ride horses each morning (Monday through Thursday).
