Camp Schedule
An overview of what an average day's schedule looks like at camp.
Our Summer Resident Camp days are filled with fun and adventure. From the time campers wake up in the morning until they turn in at night, they are busy with fun and great teaching from God’s Word.
Here is what a day at Cedar Lake might look like for your camper. Although the actual schedule varies, the example below is from a typical day at Summer Resident Camp. Day Camps, Fall Camps and Spring Camps follow a similar schedule with adjustments made to accommodate the focus of that camp.

Polar Bear
Since 1942, we’ve started every morning of Resident Camp — weather permitting — with a dip in the pool. Those who take the plunge every day become a member of the Polar Bear Club.
Those who participate for one week for 10 years join the exclusive Polar Bear Hall of Fame and have their names displayed on plaques in our dining hall.
Other Activities
For the first part of the week, campers will experience activities like nature, canoeing, archery, and sports on rotation in the mornings. Then during the last half of the week, they get to choose which activities they want to join. And we have many for them to choose from!
Many of our games are unique to Cedar Lake. The atmosphere here encourages creativity, and our staff and campers have developed some memorable games and activities.
