Camp Loucon

Loucon Training & Retreat Center and  Aldersgate Camp & Retreat Center have been forced to cancel their 2020 traditional summer camping seasons because of continued social distancing in response to COVID-19. Get more informationHERE 

Loucon plans to offer some individual family opportunities this summer. Families can experience Loucon together while maintaining social distancing guidelines. If you'd like your family to participate contact Loucon at 270-242-7160 or Info@Loucon.org. These opportunities will begin on June 11, 2020, and will extend through the end of July. Act now to reserve your family's spot!

Individual Family Opportunities:
1. Individual Family Day Excursions: Schedule some time for your family to spend some time at Loucon hiking trails, relaxing in hammocks, making a craft, enjoying some s'mores, and more. We'll be providing a limited number of family day excursions Thursday-Saturdays.
2. Individual Family Retreats: Schedule a 2-night retreat at your home away from home! Come stay 2 nights in Kittinger Cottage or Wagner Cottage so your family can get your Loucon fix for this summer. Your family can stay in accommodations overlooking Loucon lake while participating in activities similar to those we'll be setting up for our day excursions.
3. Loucon will also utilize its RV hook-ups at limited capacity. Contact the office for more details. This opportunity is for those with full hook-up capabilities.

Virtual Day Camp
This summer Loucon is partnering with our sister camp Aldersgate and Kavanaugh's Mission Basecamp to offer you a virtual day camp! Details will follow; however, we are looking to set up experiences for all ages. You can participate when we post or you can utilize the content for future family or congregational opportunities. We all miss camp, so we thought why not bring it to you virtually. This is a new way for us to help point your campers to God, to reach them where they are (your living room), and to help them grow! Join us for Virtual Day Camp each Tuesday beginning June 16, 2020 and ending on July 21, 2020. Times and other details will be shared soon. You can access the content on our Social Media, our YouTube channel, and on our website.

"FEATURED SUMMER CAMP"
Virginia Chance School

At Virginia Chance School, summer is welcomed! Summer Under the Trees is an outdoor camp for the adventurous child ages 2 years through 5th grade.

Gather with friends and experienced teachers as we explore our beautiful 26-acre campus in a summer of outdoor games, art, music, and fun! See the full schedule HERE.

**CAMP REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR JULY ONLY!**

** UPDATE** Due to current restrictions from our public health officials, we will be unable to hold our June camps as scheduled this year. It saddens us to bring this news to you as we know how much you have been looking forward to camp.

The safety of our campers and our staff is our top priority and we are currently doing everything we can to ensure that camp can continue as scheduled in July. Once we have further guidance from our public health officials for camps and childcare, we will ensure that we meet and exceed all of those guidelines in order to maintain safety, welfare, and peace of mind for all. We will continue to maintain open communication regarding the status of our camps in July this year.

For the 2-year-old camper  Camp is an opportunity for our two-year-old friends to adapt to a new situation in a safe, nurturing environment. Routines are consistent and schedules are simple to ease the transition to a new setting. Our youngest campers practice their newly found independence while exploring each of the outdoor themes. Activities include books, art projects, pretend play and lots of physical activities. Campers attend one or more weeks in three-day or five-day sessions.
(Mon.-Wed., or Mon. – Fri.) from 8:30 – 11:30 or 8:30 – 1:00.

For the 3- and 4-year-old camper  Camp provides these curious minds the opportunity to be self-reliant, independent decision-makers. Through the weekly outdoor themes, three- and four-year-olds are able to participate in planning art projects, science investigations and open-ended play. Campers attend one or more weeks, Monday through Friday 8:30 – 11:30, 8:30 – 1:00 or 8:30 – 4:00. (Threes also have the option to attend only M-W.) Children staying until 1:00 enjoy lunch brought from home and a little extra time with their friends! Children staying until 4:00 will enjoy lunch, a nap or rest as needed, and some extra time to explore the weekly theme.

For campers entering kindergarten through 1st grade, It’s a whole new world Under the Trees for elementary school friends! These growing campers are ready to explore new areas of camp, try their hand and more advanced skills and make new friends. Every week includes nature journaling, time in the Learning Greenhouse, exploring the woods and fields and all the camp activities the “big kids” do!

For campers entering second through fifth grades  For these growing explorers, camp provides the perfect balance between adult-driven and child-inspired inquiry. The interests of the children guide the activities within each theme. With a vested interest in what happens at camp, elementary children gain a deep, meaningful knowledge of the thematic topics while they have a great time and develop new friendships. Every week these campers will have the opportunity to be reading buddies to our younger campers, take pictures and write articles about what is going on around camp for our weekly newsletter, and contribute to other camp projects. These oldest campers are true leaders Under the Trees! Campers attend one or more weeks, Monday through Friday 8:30 – 1:00 or 8:30 – 4:00.
