This is Guys Only, otherwise known as MAN CAMP! This is a camp where it is just the guys at our Wilderness camp! Roughing it with the boys in the tenabins (tent cabins) and food cooked over the fire is a recipe for great memories and great friends.


Guys only is meant to break down walls and promote authenticity with fellow campers and counselors in both trials and triumphs.

Campers will have the opportunity to experience high ropes, Bible studies, axe throwing, archery tag, chapel and SO MUCH MORE!

What to Expect

DROP OFF DAY

The first day of camp is a different experience for everyone. For some, excitement is high in anticipation of the adventure ahead, for others it might be there first time away from home and they are nervous! Their counselor's mission is to meet them where they're at, get to know them, and help get them adjust to the new environment. 


For Guys Only campers on this day, they'll get to experience pool chapel, hike deep into the woods to our Wilderness site, get settled into their "tenabins", enjoy a meal and worship around the fire, then bundle up for the night!

STARTING THE WEEK STRONG!

On the second day of camp, Guys Only campers wake up to a hearty breakfast cooked around the campfire! On this day each bunk group will set out to complete their first of several team building activities they will get to experience throughout the week. These activities are meant to help campers learn important life skills like how to work as a team, communicate, and solve problems with their bunk group! 


Of course, no day at Inspiration Hills is complete without worship, chapel, Bible studies, and TAWG (time alone with God)! On this day the campers also get to experience a large group activity and OAT (open activity time) which is a free time in which they can freely enjoy our various games and activities at their own pace. 

ADDRESSING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MAN

After another day of camp, the campers are learning to be more comfortable being  themselves! It is business as usual with breakfast, another initiative, lunch, chapel/ worship time, OAT, and a group activity. 


For Man Campers, thrilling activities ramp up as campers engage in the High Ropes and ace throwing! However, what makes day 3 really special is commitment chapel, an evening chapel in which we encourage campers to reflect on their faith and learn about what it really means to live as a Christian. For Guys Only camp, our chaplains typically focus on addressing themes that pertain to manhood. 

During this night, some campers will choose to give their lives to the Lord for the first time. Campers also get an opportunity to talk through their faith one on one with their counselor and ask any hard questions they may have. 

EXPLORING "WHAT NOW?"

On this day, the campers once again wake up to another breakfast and another exciting day ahead of them. This is the last full day of the week. Thursday is a special day, many campers being to feel at home and have honest conversations with each other. For our man campers, the counselors foster communication of what it means to be a man of God when the campers go home!


After a morning of teambuilding and lunch, the campers worship in chapel and have OAT.  Some OAT activities that are open throughout the week include the slip n' slide, pool, and of course, the Canteen! After OAT, Guys Only Camp takes part in an old wilderness tradition, SPAGHETTI NIGHT!


The final night of camp also includes archery, a Wilderness exclusive, and one last chance to share stories and enjoy the company of your new friends around the fire!

FINAL CHAPEL!

After a long, exciting, life-changing week of spending time with friends and with the Lord, it's finally time to wrap up the summer camp experience. After breakfast, each camper packs up their things and proceeds to one final large group game which will include every camper from every camp of the week! 


During this time, parents are welcome to bring their lawn chairs and come before noon for a big cookout and to enjoy final chapel. This chapel includes a recap of the week and one last opportunity for all campers to praise the Lord together before departure. We encourage campers to share with their families what they learned at camp on the ride home.
