What to Expect during the two weeks:

  • Campers will have access to a washer and dryer. There is no need to pack clothes for two weeks, one week of clothing would suffice.
  • There will be excursions into Marble Falls some days/evenings. We suggest for your camper to bring spending money for these excursions to cover snacks/drinks.
  • There will be themed fellowship nights that require additional packing items. These themes will be communicated in advance so your camper can prepare accordingly. Some themes used in the past: western night, tacky prom, neon night, 90s night, dress like an old person.
