Our "Lamp Lighter" program is an opportunity for camper's to essentially "memorize" their way to camp! By memorizing a select number of verses and reciting them from memory to one of the designated listeners, you can earn a free trip to camp for yourself or for a friend! More details of the lamp lighter program can be found at the very bottom of this webpage, and there is a tab that says "lamplighters" - there you can find the rest of the information you need to earn a free trip to camp this summer!
