Senior High Programs
...a full week of camp life with programming, prepared meals, and a whole bunch of like-minded folks.
Senior high aged campers live separately from adults with their own counselors and their own programming. Much of the program is created by campers themselves. Activities include games, athletics (like ultimate frisbee, hiking, e-gaming, and ridiculous games made up on the spot.) Worship and spiritual meetings are created and organized by campers and their counselors.
Counselors have often been campers themselves (many started out as toddlers!) They know the ins-and-outs of camp so they can help campers new and old get settled for a fantastic week.
Senior high aged campers can attend with or without their parents or guardians, so church and congregation youth-groups are more than welcome.
Multigenerational activities include a social hour, open-mic "Coffeehouse," a camp-wide “Pun Off,” games, and spiritual meetings.
All inclusive registration fees include housing, meals, workshops and other activities. Additional fees may be required for some workshops and excursions.
A typical day at MUUSA
Late night worship might make campers really crave a cup of coffee or hot chocolate at breakfast. This is a good time to check in with parents, guardians and siblings. Usually campers attend the "morning celebration" (a sort of informal "church service" with a lot of music and singing, usually organized around a week long "theme")
Later in the morning campers can be found hiking, exploring historic Ripon, or planning activities for the day. After lunch, some campers might plan evening worship services, while others play games, sports, or go for a swim. A trip to the ice cream or coffee shop is not out of the question, followed by a nap in a hammock.
Dinner is another good time to check in with the folks before heading off to the Intergenerational Pun-Off (which in the past several years has been won by a senior high camper, leaving the adults in the dust!)
After that, the day usually closes with an evening worship session. These can be emotional, insightful, fulfilling and spiritual. Many campers find these to be their favorite part of camp.
