Getting older sure isn’t easy, and sometimes it seems as though things are on a fast track down hill! But do not fear!! We are all in this together, and now is your chance to spend some time with other Seniors in the beautiful Sawtooth Mountains at Sawtooth Camp! We are very excited to begin this new camp to share good times, good laughs, good food, good exercise, good spiritual time, and good sleep! Here is a chance for you to take a wonderful mini-vacation from the hustle and bustle of life, and share experiences with other “old-timers”! Come and enjoy God’s beautiful gift of Sawtooth Camp!

Get to know each other as you share in camp activities such as river wading, fishing, crafts, trail hiking, biking, zip-lining, team-building on our Challenge Course, and especially enjoying popcorn or s’mores around the campfire! Share delicious meals cooked by our camp “chefs”, and meaningful worship times in beautiful areas on the camp property. This Senior Shindig is meant to be a laid-back, fun experience for everyone to enjoy making new friends and having wonderful adventures. You will have the opportunity to grow spiritually while making lasting friendships and memories for years to come! We don’t stop needing camp when we turn 18, so we hope to see you in September around the campfire!
