Big adventures.
Deep roots.

Our program currently uses host camp facilities in South Carolina: Camp Kinard in the midlands near Columbia and Camp Hannon in the mountains. Check the upcoming schedule for your session’s location. Our future permanent home in Beaufort is a separate development project.

Adventure Week is a mountain-focused camp experience with opportunities to try something new, build friendships, and grow in faith. The next season’s dates, eligible grades, and program details will be shared when announced.

Your camper will begin and end their day with chapel time. During this time, campers will worship, pray, memorize scripture, hear testimonies, and receive a teaching from our Chaplain. In addition to chapel, your camper will enjoy multiple activity periods each day, as well as swim time, canteen, and camp wide games. Small group time, cabin time, and table fellowship at meals are also an important part of each day.

Yes, we allow campers to request one cabin mate. The camper that your child requests must also request your child as a cabin mate in order to be paired (if your camper’s cabin mate request is not reciprocated, they will not be paired). While we do not promise that campers will receive their cabin mate request, we try our best to honor all reciprocated requests. If you need to adjust your cabin mate request, please email summercamp@adosc.org.

We will not change cabin assignments once they have been made, and we do not allow campers to switch cabins on check-in day.

We have new campers every session who come without knowing anyone. While we offer fun and creative activities, our program is designed to be relationally based rather than activity focused. As a relational ministry, our goal is to help campers build intentional community with their peers as well as their staff and counselors. To that end, we are careful to hire staff with the heart and skills to cultivate community with individuals, their cabin, and the wider camp.

Our staff is made up of caring, college-aged Christian leaders who love the Lord and have a passion for working with youth. Staff members are well-trained and receive First Aid and CPR certifications before working with campers, and all swim periods are guarded by certified lifeguards. Staff also receive child protection training and background checks before working with campers. Our staff is committed to being camper first, safety first, and gospel-focused in all that we do.

Yes! We have an experienced licensed Nurse, who is familiar with working in a camp setting. The Camp Nurse will administer all medication while at camp and is available to attend to campers who become sick or injured.

***Please note: Because we will be utilizing host facilities to operate our program this summer, we will not have access to a designated infirmary to quarantine sick campers. In the event that a camper becomes ill and requires separation from the rest of camp, upon being notified, the parent/guardian is responsible for promptly picking up their camper.

Yes, we offer needs-based scholarships to registered campers upon request. If financial assistance is requested, we will provide up to one third of the cost, ask the camper’s home church to cover a third, and ask the camper’s family to cover the remaining third. If you need financial assistance, you will be able to apply for a scholarship once your camper is registered. If we have exhausted our scholarship funds, we will provide a full refund of your application fee.

Multiple-session registration details for summer 2027 will be shared with the new schedule. Contact summercamp@adosc.org for help with your camper’s plans.
