Furnace Mountain Camp

Opening in summer of 2011, this children's day camp will bring the best of Christian based themes as well as the excitement of challenges and fun of roughing it in God's great creation. The core of the program will be our Outdoor Living School, providing time spent learning in and interacting with nature. Activities include cooking, orienteering, 1st aid & safety, trail codes, building shelters, survival, ecology, knots & equipment, tracking, and wildlife identification. The camp is geared toward the needs of 7 to 12 year olds, and will be held in weekly sessions. Each child will have a variety of group and individual activities, and opportunities to visit our Nature/Activity Center stocked with wildlife displays, nature activity stations, microscope & fossil stations, foosball, air hockey, pool tables, board games, colorful field guides, challenging books, scavenger puzzles, card games, and lots more!

Operation: Summer Haven

Freedom Center, has recognized a need for safe, enjoyable summer activities for children to escape, if only temporarily, the effects of poverty.

The goal of OPERATION: SUMMER HAVEN is to provide at risk children with a temporary but necessary respite from the ravages of abuse, poverty, drug use and influence, and gang activity/pressure, by partnering with faith-based organizations and local governments to provide a safe and fun residential camp experience during the summer. We want to impart to these children that someone cares and that we can help them make choices that will engender success instead of hopelessness and the cycle of poverty.

The OPERATION: SUMMER HAVEN program will help children experience carefree fun in an outdoor environment while establishing healthy relationships with other children. OPERATION: SUMMER HAVEN will include traditional outdoor and camping skills, academic enrichment and coping skills, and career or trade skill exploration.

Comfortable rooms, spacious recreational areas and a beautiful lake are just some of the amenities available to complement your function. And, with our professional, personal service provided by our staff, you can be fully assured that your retreat or event at Freedom Center will be a success.
