Eagle Rock Adventure

This new program is designed to give the camper a great taste of the outdoors! Enrolled teens will learn outdoor living skills through daily trips, including an overnight backpacking trip, a two-day canoe trip, an all-day mountain biking trip on the camp trails, and more. Activities will not only offer teens great exposure to high-adventure fun, but also provide them with excellent preparation for the LT/CIT program series. Although no previous CLC experience is necessary, campers should be moderately active prior to arriving at camp. Age 13 & up. Extra fee: $50 for Session 1. $100 per session for Sessions 2, 3, or 4.

Hands-on Horsemanship

For intermediate and advanced riders who just can’t get enough of horses! In addition to daily riding lessons, you’ll learn about horse care through daily hands-on experience at the stables.

Leadership Training

What makes a good leader? What makes a strong team? How can you be a better leader or team member? The Crystal Lake Leadership Training Course is a 2-week adventure and leadership program that focuses on what it takes to be a leader or a team member as well as on the development of outdoor living skills. LTs participate in activities such as an extended backpacking trip, a canoe trip, and a survival solo. Time is also devoted to group discussions and personal reflection on a variety of topics such as leadership styles, time management, decision making, and what it means to be a Christian Scientist. Join us this summer! Age 15 and up. Extra Fee: $100. Session 2 only.


Counselor-in-Training

The Crystal Lake CIT course is a 4-week training course which prepares campers to be successful staff members whether in cabins, teaching activities, or in other areas of the camp program. The CIT program is both a job training program and an educational experience. CITs participate in daily classes divided into 4 key areas: Staff, Camp, Campers, and Program. Topics include working as part of a team, responding to others' needs, time management, decision making, public speaking, and Christian Science healing. Most importantly, CITs have the opportunity to daily put what is learned into practice in a supportive Christian Science environment. If you are interested in the out-of-doors, working with children, making new friends, and growing in your understanding and application of Christian Science - join us this summer. Make a difference - challenge yourself and others by being part of this year's class. Age 16 and up. Session 3-4 (4 weeks.) Total Fee: $1000.
