• Adventure Tree Waiver

This spring and summer, there are lots of ways to experience DuBois Center, including Fun Sundays. Join us for a meal or bring a picnic lunch. Visit the horses and test drive one in the arena. Walk the labyrinth or enjoy a pontoon boat cruise around the lake. Roast a marshmallow and make a s’more. There will also be orientations for parents and prospective summer camp families. Family-friendly fun for all ages plus special features each month. In April, a Master Naturalist will lead hikes and open our eyes to the magic of spring at DuBois. In May, we will celebrate Pentecost with worship in our new outdoor chapel and Pentecost-themed activities. Click here for more details.

The days are getting longer and the weather is trending warmer, which means it’s time to start thinking about summer camp!

July 5-8

Crafts, nature hikes, dock swims, horseback riding: participate in these and more when teens from your church embark on the Buddy-to-Buddy Mission Experience at DuBois Center. Promote positive peer interactions and new friendships when youth from your church partner with youth from the Hoyleton Children’s Home, and together enjoy a special day camp. Your teens can have a lasting impact on the lives of young people with special needs, while gaining even more in return. Through activities, daily reflections and prayers times, the meaning of “Faith in Action” becomes more than just a vague concept. For more information, check out this flyer or contact Leah at program@DuBoisCenter.org. Registration materials will be available February 20.

Love camp at DuBois Center? Lead it!

Enjoy a great week of camp while gaining skills that will help you grow as a positive Christian leader. You’ll learn how to create a fun, safe environment, manage camper behavior and teach basic camp skills. Working with younger campers and your CIT teammates, you’ll gain great practical experience, peek “behind the scenes” at DuBois and develop a sense of community. CIT will function much like a “lab school” with discussion, training, practice and evaluation sessions.

For more information, check out this flyer or click over to the CIT page.
