What is Summer Camp like at Living River?
Youth and kids are invited to discover more about God, their own faith, the world, and themselves through keynotes, small groups, hands-on activities, asking questions, and having meaningful discussions. The Presbyterian Church (USA) values curiosity, wonder, expansive understanding of history and cultures, practical skill building (service to neighbor, variety of prayer strategies, etc.), and assurance of each person's belovedness to God in its faith formation of children and youth.
All camps foster a love of nature and good stewardship of creation by spending lots of time outdoors, learning about nature, and caring for it. Environmental partners such as the 4-H Extension, Alabama Forestry Commission, Alabama Paleontological Society, Cahaba Riverkeeper, Cahaba River Society, and more offer unique learning experiences to campers.
Living River and its staff and counselors prioritize creating a safe and fun environment for all campers and volunteers, welcoming campers and volunteers of any demographic and faith background. Living River and its staff and counselors work hard to make camp a positive and inclusive experience by making sure all campers feel included and accommodating different needs.
Campers experience all kinds of camp fun at Living River including archery, a low ropes course, swimming, canoeing, games, fishing, hiking, bonfires, and so much more!
