Summer Camp Program
Small group camping is the unique trademark of the Don Lee experience. Within this model, the group grows in trust and faith as they work together, play together, and worship together. Year after year campers and alumni tell us that "the group" was so essential to the joy and excitement of their camp experience. Don Lee focuses on building the community of the group. Activities are fun and exciting but "the group" is where the real experience is built. Groups do not always start out in perfect relationships, but with willingness and sharing, growth in trust and trustworthiness can lift the experience to a real high moment in a camper's life.
