Give the gift of camp this holiday season with a DuBois Center gift certificate! This is the perfect gift for anyone who loves camp – or maybe even for someone new to DuBois!
Gift certificates are available for any value – starting at $10 – and can be used towards ANY DuBois Center camp, retreat, event or even a camp store item.
To purchase, contact us at dcinfo@DuBoisCenter.org or 618-787-2202.
Fall is winding down at DuBois Center, and that means leaves are all over the ground! We could certainly use some help raking them all up and keeping DuBois beautiful.
If you’re looking for an afternoon of service and fellowship for your youth or fellowship group, or even a day with family or friends, come out to DuBois on Nov. 20 to rake the leaves. We promise we’ll let you jump and play in them as well!
We’ll also have the bonfire going, so bring hot dogs and buns to enjoy over the open fire. We’ll provide the roasting forks, condiments, beverages and, best of all, S’MORE FIXIN’S! There are also plenty of rakes already on-site.
You and your group can arrive anywhere between noon and 3 p.m., and depart between 4 and 6 p.m. Please RSVP so we know how many to expect – call 618-787-2202 or email dcinfo@DuBoisCenter.org.
Join us for an evening of fellowship, fun and knowledge! DuBois Center is hosting a Trivia Night on Saturday, Nov. 12 – and you’re invited! All proceeds will benefit DuBois and the summer camp program.
Trivia Night will be held at St. Paul United Church of Christ in Belleville, IL. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and trivia will begin at 7:00 p.m. You may bring your own beverages and snacks to share with your table.
The cost will be $100 per table (up to eight people), and there will also be mulligans available for purchase. In addition, there will be a silent auction, a 50/50 drawing and attendance prizes.
To reserve a table today, contact DuBoisFundraising@gmail.com. Payment is due at the event. For more information, check out the flyer here.
If you’re interested in volunteering for the event, please reach out to the email above.
We hope to see you there!
It is never too early to start thinking about and preparing for DuBois Center’s annual Fall Festival. Each October, this event attracts approximately 2500 church and community members. It is our biggest friend and fund-raising event of the year. Mark your calendar and plan now to participate! The first Sunday in October is the traditional day for this extravaganza; it would be great if you could steer other church events away from this date if possible.
A family tradition for many… why not make it one for yours? Laugh, play, sing and maybe even dance! Relax and re-energize your relationship with your daughter, mother, granddaughter, niece, aunt or other special woman or girl in your life. This playful, faith-based, fun-filled weekend may be just the break you need from hectic fall schedules. Weather permitting, activities will include archery, engaging Bible exploration, canoeing, crafts, creative dramatics, a hayride and campfire, hiking, music, pontoon boat rides, yoga and worship. You can even opt for a horseback ride. Register online at the top of the page or print this registration form and mail us a completed copy.

We’re super pumped for High School Week, and are excited to announce that Adventure tree will once again be a part of the fun!
This extra-special piece of programming does require an additional waiver, which you can find linked below. If you have problems with getting the electronic copy printed, let us know and we’ll drop a paper copy in the mail to you. Please bring the completed waiver (with PARENT/GUARDIAN signature for campers under 18) to check-in on SUNDAY, JUNE 26.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns you can get ahold of us at dcinfo@DuBoisCenter.org or 618-787-2202.
Have a great week, and we’ll see you soon!
Has your camper completed 5th, 6th, or 7th grade? Are they interested in horse camp? Due to popular demand, we are adding an extra session of Horsin’ Around to June 12-17.
