For Children Entering Grades 1 Through 6
Days packed with fun and home in time for dinner! Day Camp offers children and families the same community building and faith development benefits available in our overnight camps.
No Two Weeks Are The Same
Each group of campers has a hand in designing what the week will look like. This “small group model” is a signature aspect of the Camp Hanover experience. Campers in a group work together to create their week’s schedule. They might choose crafts and field games in the morning with an afternoon of swimming and archery. The next day could be paddle-boarding and the mud slide followed by a nature hike. View the activities available at Camp Hanover.
Guided by our staff, campers gain independence and a sense of ownership of their experience, all while learning about the give and take that is a hallmark of Christian community. Groups also spend time each day in engaging Bible study and meaningful worship, as they explore faith related topics in age-appropriate ways.

Our Staff
The foundation of our exceptional program starts with dedicated staff. We seek out fun, caring, and creative young adults who are passionate about spending time with children and affirming them for their uniqueness as Children of God.
Day Camp staff undergo rigorous screening, including face-to-face interviews, background checks, and personal reference verification. Prior to the arrival of campers, Day Camp staff complete a minimum of 12 days of orientation and training in all aspects of summer camp leadership. And since caring for the safety and well-being of your camper is paramount, all staff are trained in CPR and First Aid.
2025 Session Dates
Seven sessions of Day Camp are available. Each session begins on a Monday and ends on a Friday. Families may register for as many sessions as needed. If your camper is currently in kindergarten, first grade, or second grade, register for Winger Day Camp. If your camper is currently in third, fourth, or fifth grade, register for Junior Day Camp.
Registration opens January 15 for the public. 2024 campers may register now using the password emailed to them.
