1. SBC is committed to your child's well being above all else. Our staff is carefully screened, trained, and dedicated to a high level of safety. Our equipment is tested and well-maintained. A health officer is always on duty. Food served at SBC always includes fruits and vegetables and alternatives can be provided in case of food allergies or special dietary needs.
2. Campers love SBC staff. Don't get us wrong . . . they love the fun and exciting activities and games, too. Often, though, when you ask a camper what their favorite part of camp was, they say it was their counselor. Relationships are the most important part of the camp experience at SBC.
3. SBC stretches campers to try new things. We provide a space in which campers feel emotionally safe so that they can be stretched beyond their comfort zone. They might feel pangs of insecurity as they arrive, but they'll also experience the thrill of meeting new people and being loved and accepted by their cabin group. They might be fearful of new activities, but they'll also feel excited and energized when they succeed at something they never thought they could do.
4. Somerset Beach staff members love their jobs. Our staff members are so excited about what they do and that enthusiasm spills over to our campers and guests. They enjoy being in the outdoors, they're full of energy and enthusiasm and they love working with kids and teens. Staff members at SBC are key players in a camper's experience. They help campers to make friends, to learn new skills, to feel loved and accepted, to face fears and disappointments, and to understand the Bible and apply it to their lives.
5. Campers leave SBC with lifelong friends. When kids are here, they don't have mom and dad there to help them approach people and make connections. With the assistance of trained counselors, they have to put themselves out there. There's something about the SBC setting that allows campers to let their guard down and develop deep relationships with each other.
6. Life-changing encounters with Jesus are the goal of SBC youth camps. Through Bible studies, relationships, conversations, teachable moments, guest speakers and more, we hope that every camper goes home feeling good about himself or herself, having self-confidence based on the fact that Christ loves him or her and offered Himself as a sacrifice for him or her.
7. SBC campers have FUN! Zip lines, tubing, campfires, swimming, hiking . . . the list goes on and on. We believe that when campers are interested and enthusiastic about being here, they're more teachable than they would be otherwise, so we make every effort to make their time at SBC the best week of their summer! In addition to traditional camp activities, and adventure initiatives, we plan special games and events. Campers are never bored.
