We’re heading to Expeditions Unlimited this year for Summer Camp! We’ll be at camp from Thursday, June 6th - Sunday, June 9th. This weekend-long experience is for both middle school and high school students and space is limited so get registered!
This summer our camp theme is illumination. Without transformation, there cannot be illumination! ”You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” - Matthew 5:14-16 NLT

A bad attitude
Expeditions Unlimited restricts cell phone use. It is a cell phone free camp. For that reason, each student will be asked to leave their cell phone and any other electronic devices at home. This is a zero tolerance policy.
Every adult leader will have their phone and students can request a phone call whenever they’d like to call home. If an emergency arises and you need to reach your student you can call either Joe Stephens at (708) 244-0860 or Jessica Bowman at (630) 229-3330.
Jessica Bowman will send out a text upon arrival and departure, as well as a morning and evening text to all parents and guardians while at Camp. This is to check in and inform you how we are doing. A week before camp, we will run a test text. At that time, you will be able to add any phone numbers to this text thread.
There is no shortage of fun things to do at Expeditions Unlimited! The Oasis, a High School only canoe trip, paddle boating, kayaks, paint ball, mountain biking, high ropes course, mountain climbing, and so much more!
There will be two adults volunteer leaders per cabin who have a background check, form complete, complete training, and will sleep separate from students but are connected for supervision. Middle school and High school students are together during free time, meals and worship nights.
Ratio is 2 adult volunteer leaders: 10-12 students
$200 covers transportation, lodging, meals, activities, t-shirt and more!
When families put aside $15.50 for 13 weeks, $22.50 for 9 weeks, $40 for 5 weeks, Summer Camp would be paid for! Start planning today.
