Little Ligs

Little Ligs

Little Ligs camp is uniquely designed for young or first-time campers who are ages 6-8, where campers experience two-nights intended to provide fun, faith-building opportunities for younger school-aged children. Little Ligs campers live in cabins of 8 campers with 3 staff members per cabin. They participate in many of the same activities as the Classic Camp, with many of the activities adjusted to be geared toward their age group, such as creek hikes, pool time, group games, archery, arts & crafts, Bible study, silly skits, dance, songs, and campfires.

Typical Daily Schedule - Little Ligs

8:00 - Wake up!

8:30 - Breakfast in the dining hall. Campers eat together at the same table with their cabin and counselors at all of the meals. It's cafeteria-style to get your food. Typical breakfasts are eggs, bacon and hash browns, pancakes & sausage, or breakfast sandwiches. There's also fresh fruit and cereal at every breakfast. 

9:30 - 12:30 - Each huddle will participate in rotations specific to their group. Activities might include Bible study (led by their counselor), archery, a nature experience (nature hike, creek walk), various sports, arts & crafts, camp activities like Prison Dodgeball or Gaga Ball.

12:30 - Lunchtime! Typical lunches include Sloppy Joes and tater tots, grilled cheese and tomato soup, or turkey sandwiches and fries. We also serve fresh fruit, Wowbutter (a soy substitute for peanut butter), carrots and hummus or broccoli and ranch dressing. Campers eat together as a cabin with their counselors.

1:30 - Cabin Clean up. It is what it sounds like! They clean the cabin. Believe us, it's a daily necessity.

1:45 - Pool/HUB time - Little Ligs get to enjoy the pool where they are limited to the shallow end and have extra counselors in the pool to assist where necessary. They will also be able to visit the HUB (camp store) at this time to purchase a treat. (The store will also be open during arrival and pick up for larger purchases such as t-shirts or sweatshirts)

2:45 -Rest hour. Campers have an hour of quiet time in their bunks. Sleeping isn't required, but being quiet and resting is. This is when we deliver mail for the day, as well. 

3:45 -  Huddles will participate in an additional round of various activities similar to the morning rotation.

5:30 - Dinner! Typical dinners at camp include pizza, chicken & broccoli Alfredo, pork chops and mashed potatoes, taco night, or fried chicken. We always have a full salad bar and sometimes serve dessert. 

6:30 -During this time, Little Ligs will get to participate in some of the traditional camp activities such as the rec deck, craft hall, and prison dodgeball. 

7:30 - Depending on the evening, Little Ligs will either participate in Bible study or enjoy s'mores at their own campfire.

8:45 - Ligonier Live - Ligonier Live is our evening program. It's a mix of loud, worship songs with a band playing, as well as a late-night skit show. We do silly games, skits, songs and generally make it as fun as possible. It also always closes with someone on our staff giving a talk to share how campers can grow in their faith. Little Ligs will join the rest of camp for the first half and then will be dismissed early to head to bed.

9:15 - Devotions. Counselors help kids get ready for bed and then settle in for the night with a brief closing devotion. Usually it's a quiet time to reflect on the day and pray before bed.

9:30 - Lights out!
