Reflection for Easter

As Easter approaches, we are reminded of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross and the joy that comes with his resurrection. This is a time to celebrate new beginnings and the promise of eternal life.

Easter is a time to reflect on the love, mercy, and grace that God has shown us. It is a reminder that no matter how far we have strayed from God, we are always welcomed back with open arms.

Let us take this opportunity to renew our faith and show kindness and compassion to others, just as Jesus did.

We hope this Easter fills your heart with joy, peace, and love. Blessings to you and your loved ones. Happy Easter!

Summer Camp Open House

April 15 from 1–5pm

If you're thinking about sending your child to summer camp this year, come see for yourself what makes Camp Chanco so special! This is a place for kids and teens to have fun and make lifelong friends. Our open house is the perfect time to bring your prospective camper to meet our staff, see where you'll be sleeping, and take part in some activities that happen while at camp like zip lining and arts and crafts.

Our tractor will pull you on a hay ride past the swimming pool, gaga ball court and bring you to the Perry Pavilion, the hub of our campsite area. Tour the grounds on a walk down to the waterfront where kids sail, paddleboard and swim. Then walk up the hill to see our ropes course, then swing back by the pavilion for some lemonade and brats.

We are here to answer all of your questions and get your kids pumped about coming to camp this summer!

Give us a call to let us know you're coming or with any questions.
