KAMP KALEO
Summer Camps
2020
One of the biggest gifts that we can give to
our children and youth is an investment in
their spiritual lives. Through small group Bible
study, meeting new friends, living in cabins,
sharing meals, worship, exploring nature, and
play, summer church camp offers a unique
opportunity for learning and developing
healthy relationships with God and with each
other.
We invite you to invest in the life of a young person
• by sending your child or grandchild to Kamp
Kaleo, or bringing them to Little Kampers
• by volunteering to counsel or direct a camp
or act as sponsor on Canoe Quest
• by enabling children in your church or in your
community to attend camp
• by making a financial contribution to Kamp
Kaleo to help underwrite the costs of volunteer
counselors, directors, and nurses
• by lifting up Kamp and campers in your prayers
• by volunteering your time and talent to prepare
the camp for the summer season in the spring
and “button down” the camp for winter in the fall
Established in 1965, Kamp Kaleo is a place
set aside to encounter God in nature and in
community. The camping program is over-
seen by the Youth and Outdoor Ministries
Committee (YOMC) of the Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ) in Nebraska and the Tri-
Conference (Iowa, Nebraska and South Da-
kota) Ministries of the United Church of Christ.
You are invited to explore and experience
your faith at Kamp Kaleo!
YOMC Working Mission Statement: Inspired by
God’s Spirit, we seek to create radically inclusive
spaces and places for faith exploration.

Junior Kamp June 7-11
Ages: 4th & 5th Grade Cost: $365 per camper
Directors: Payton Best
For students entering fourth and fifth grades,
it’s time to fly solo! These are formative years
for this age and a time when campers begin
to think about who God is and who they are in
relationship to God and community. Each
day is full with stewardship, small group time,
meals and singing, nap time, afternoon recre-
ation (swimming, river play, outdoor games,
tie dye and crafts), evening fun and vespers.
Times: Arrive 3:00 p.m. on Sunday
Ends 1:00 p.m. on Thursday
Little Kampers July 10-12
Ages: Kindergarten - 3rd grade Cost: 1 camper / 1 adult: $140
Directors: D’Arcy Blosser & Hanna Pinneo-Boring
Middle School Kamp June 14-19
Ages: 6th - 8th Grade Cost: $375 per camper
Director: Rev. Steve Mason
Students entering sixth through eighth grades begin
to develop deep and lasting friendships at this
camp. This age group is just beginning to transition
from a literal understanding of faith to a deeper lev-
el of understanding of who they are in relationship
with God. How we treat one another is another big
learning curve as these young people discover who
they are and how they relate to others. Now that the
campers are a bit older, tanking, canoeing, and
tubing the river become options!
Times: Arrive 3:00 p.m. on Sunday
Ends 1:00 p.m. on Friday
