WHAT IS CAMP PARADISE VALLEY SUMMER CAMP? Image

WHAT IS CAMP PARADISE VALLEY SUMMER CAMP?

The Salvation Army Camp Paradise Valley Summer Camp Program is for 7-12 year old school age children. It runs from June to the end of July and is made up of week long (Mon.—Sat.) overnight camps. All camp specific information and registration for these camps are run through and handled by local Salvation Army Corps (Churches). 

The Salvation Army camping program is divided into two types of camps designed to meet the specific needs of each group it serves.

Type #1—Community Camps

Community Camps are operated for the benefit of children who are referred by social service agencies, such as The Salvation Army, Boys & Girls Clubs. Camp Paradise Valley staff reach out to children providing them with a positive environment for their week at camp. Their camp experience helps them grow, learn, and be encouraged while striving to meet their spiritual, social, recreational & educational needs as appropriate.

Type #2—Salvation Army Camps

Salvation Army Camps are operated for members of youth groups sponsored by The Salvation Army. Camp Paradise Valley staff help campers meet their spiritual, social, recreational, & educational needs through the camp ministry. Salvation Army youth ministry camps include programs such as Girl Guards, Sunbeams, Explorers, Rangers, & Music Conservatory.

For the smooth adjustment of campers and the efficient operation of camp, visits and phone calls are not allowed. Please feel free to send your child a note through the following methods:


EMAIL: campparadisevalley@uss.salvationarmy.org. (Please put your child’s first & last name in the subject line!)

FAX: 270-433-5802. (Please put your child’s first & last name on the fax.)

 

Camp activities include but are not limited to: swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, arts & crafts, Bible Classes, various sports, group activities, nature studies, and more.

Children are placed in cabins according to age and sex. For the most part friends, siblings, and other relatives are not placed in cabins together. Camp is a place to make new friends and one of the ways we encourage that is by not necessarily placing relatives together.

 

Our staff come from across the states of Kentucky & Tennessee. But many other states are represented in addition to Europe and other parts of the world.

 

All summer camp counselors are 18 or older.

All CPV staff receive 7 days of pre-camp training according to Kentucky State Law and American Camp Association related to the procedures of camp programming and the supervision of your child. Counselors receive job-specific training to ensure the safety and well-being of your children while they are in our care.

 

Special meals are offered to children who have documented allergies to certain foods as documented by a licensed physician or medically prescribed dietary requirements.

In the event of illness or emergency or when a child must return home early, a parent or guardian will be the first person to be notified. It is to the child’s advantage that we are able to reach you promptly.

Feel free to send us an email; alternatively you can find more information on our contact us page.
