A First Camp Experience

Discover Summer Activities

This is summer the way it should be — gentle, joyful, and full of discovery. From the moment they walk in until it's time to go home, little campers are immersed in a world of play, friendship, and wonder.

We kick off each day with a bright Morning Rally, then guide campers through nature play, creative moments, Bible stories, and outdoor exploration. Discovery Camp is the perfect introduction to camp life — where faith, fun, and friendship come together.

We would love to have you out for a tour!

Our Discovery Camp is specially designed for 3 year olds - PreK. This camp is directed by our incredible Anothen Outdoor Academy Leadership and staffed with background-checked, trained Anothen staff.

Kids thrive outside! Send your kiddo to camp this summer, and let them discover the bugs, the trees, the sand, the water, and all the fun!

Our Discovery Campers start the day with Morning Rally, then will explore a variety of activities that include: fishing, swimming in the pool, exploring the creekbed, playing on the pirate ship, bounce houses, water tables, bible study, crafts and so much more!

Campers can register by the week.

We love to have fun, but take safety extremely seriously. Your camper will be in and out of air conditioning, will always wear a life vest and will be accompanied by a trained and background-checked Anothen employee. Come see why everyone loves Anothen!
