Campers will gain a greater understanding of our solar system by learning about the planets and sun through hands-on science activities.

Campers take a serious look at what it would be like to find alien life. This includes not only exploring the science behind how alien life would be possible, but also what an alien culture could look like. Campers will be joined by a retired astronaut who will interact with campers during an activity. Campers will also receive a photo with the astronaut and their autograph. Astronaut will be announced soon. $100 additional fee applies.

In Mars Academy, teams of campers will find out if they have what it takes to survive on Mars! Activities and training will center around building a sustainable colony on Mars where campers will compete to earn various resources.

As Astro Recruits progress toward their end goal of establishing life on another planet, they must first successfully live in outer space. In Mission: Astro Lab, campers will work as a team to send a crew using the Astralis capsule-based simulator to a space station. Activities include a focus in SCUBA training and experimentation and introduce campers to careers in business, health science, human services, and marketing.

Having proven that life is possible in outer space, in Mission: Lunar Trek, Astro Recruits shift focus to landing humans on the moon using the Altair Lunar Lander. Activities include a focus in flight and drone training and introduce campers to careers in construction, finance, hospitality, and transportation. Campers will be joined by a retired astronaut who will interact with campers during an activity. Campers will also receive a photo with the astronaut and their autograph.

College and career exploration camp for high-school students with disabilities and IEPs. Camp will be hosted at a TBD location where families can drop off and pick up campers.

Sunday afternoon through Tuesday evening – a little longer than Camp Quest. Campers enjoy more activities and one last dinner, then participate in a closing circle together with their parents. Riding a horse, exploring the creek and jumping in the lake (or even wading) may seem like simple fun, but in reality, campers are gaining critical social skills, independence, a healthy spiritual identity, and a greater awareness of God’s creation.

First (or second) time rustic campers take their DuBois experience to the next level! Fill your days with playing on the watermat, horseback riding, shooting archery, or a yummy cookout and experience screened-in, breezy cabins each night – try it all in a few short days on rustic!

Make waves exploring the lake or spend the afternoon building an epic sand castle. Whichever floats your boat, this camp has something for you. With extra time at the waterfront, you never know what cool adventure might drift your way; chill out on the water mat or play fun canoe games. Jump in and make a splash!

Join the DuBois Center herd for grand horseback adventures. Some mornings, it’s “up and at ‘em” long before chow time – the horses need to be fed and groomed before breakfast. You’ll be rewarded with a morning ride off into the sunrise. If you’re ready for tackin’, groomin’, ridin’, and muckin’ – then join us as we Saddle ‘Em Up! Campers should be comfortable riding at a trot.

Rainbow Camp is for LGBTQIA+ members who would like a nostalgic summer camp experience in a safe and welcoming environment!
