This is our first overnight experience for campers at Akita! We will show children the sheer joy of games at the far field, as well as an introduction into what Camp Akita has to offer, including arts and crafts, slip 'n slides, singing camp songs, and other faith-based activities that will help nurture their faith development.

This experience is designed to give our youngest overnight campers the chance to have the time of their lives, develop friendships that will last, and help them fall in love with camp — all while gaining confidence away from home.
