Scholarship Application
Down the mountain, we all experience a variety of labor: physical, emotional, social. This year we are coming together at camp in celebration and reflection of the labor we all take part in.
Some may be in need of a break from day to day labor, and others may need guidance on how to make their labor more meaningful. In these turbulent times, gathering in community is essential to share and build resources and refill our cups.
All are welcome here at Young Adult camp, where beloved community is built and rebuilt over and over. A place where spirituality, social justice, and friendship thrive.
Whether you are most excited for a peaceful walk amongst the pine trees, an insightful worship service, or an invigorating social justice workshop, camp has a something for you. Camp Deans Hannah Reed-Elliott and Archer Gothard invite young adults (age 18-35) to join us in the mountains for a time of rest, relaxation, rejuvenation, and to enjoy the FrUUits of Our Labor!

Accommodations:
Camp de Benneville Pines welcomes you to a peaceful night’s rest in one of seven sleeping cabins. The cabins are scattered throughout our beautiful property, surrounded by forest, and walking distance from all camp activities and other buildings. Each cabin is distinctively decorated with a mountain theme. All offer rustic comfort.
Cabins host between three and nine sleeping rooms and two to three communal bathrooms. Standard accommodation includes twin bunk beds.
Experience the joy of togetherness in our cozy cabin retreats. For individual adventurers or friends journeying together, our cabins offer a harmonious blend of community and comfort, accommodating 2-4 guests per room. We understand the value of companionship, so we invite you to personalize your stay by requesting roommates during the registration process or asking friends and family to join you ensuring your camp experience is shared with familiar faces and new friends alike.
