Clues to fit

Homesickness — how CranHill handles it and how parents can help

Homesickness among campers is common, especially for first-time campers, and is completely normal for campers of all ages. Statistics say that 90% of kids who go to camp experience some level of homesickness. CranHill Staff are well trained to help campers adjust to new schedules, new foods, and new people, and help campers do life together at camp each week by immediately involving them in team building and fun activities. CranHill has an extremely high success rate of working with campers with homesickness and we need our parents to help us in that process. Homesickness is common but is usually short-lived due to all the fun people and activities at CranHill!

Homesickness — parental role and what happens if a child struggles

Leadership staff members may contact parents if a child is struggling with homesickness to let them know that we are working through the challenge and may ask for their help. We ask parents not to promise a camper they can come home, but instead reassure them that how they feel is normal, that they are loved, and that they will be okay until they are picked up from camp at the end of the week. While homesickness is normal and common, it is very rare that campers need to go home from camp due to homesickness.

Independence, growth & leadership

CranHill — mission and what camp offers

Camp is a transformative experience unlike any other. It offers an exceptional setting far removed from the every day, granting children from various backgrounds the chance to nurture independence, forge enduring friendships, and rediscover God's creation each day. The blend of thrilling activities, games, and profound Biblical teachings forms the foundation of camp's genuinely life-altering impact, rooted in eternal truths. CranHill's mission is to guide people in their journey to become more like Christ. With 54 years of witnessing God's work, we cherish the uniqueness of our campus to reveal His love to each camper. Our Summer Camps offer a secure, uplifting, and authentic experience.

Programs & camp life

Staff — selection, training, and child safety program

We go to great lengths to ensure that our team is nothing short of extraordinary. Each prospective staff member undergoes a meticulous selection process. This includes a comprehensive written application, a personal interview, and thorough criminal background checks. Before the excitement of summer camp begins, our staff members embark on a week of intensive training in their respective ministry areas. Each staff member is required to complete a child safety training program through Ministry Safe. This 5-part safety system is designed to protect children and those who serve them, ensuring that your child is in the best of hands during their time at CranHill.
