Discovery Camp

A First Camp Experience

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 and welcoming Morning Rally, then gently lead your camper through a thoughtful mix of nature play and creative moments. Whether they’re fishing in the pool, exploring the creekbed, bouncing on the pirate ship, or crafting, every activity invites curiosity and confidence to bloom. Discovery Camp is the perfect introduction to camp life—where faith, fun, and friendship come together to create memories that set the stage for a lifetime of discovery.

What Makes Discovery Camp Special?

At Camp Anothen, Discovery Camp is more than childcare—it’s a joyful first step into the world of camp. Every moment is designed to help little ones feel safe, loved, and excited to learn, play, and grow.

  • Bible Lessons Made Simple – Campers hear age-appropriate stories from God’s Word, shared in fun, engaging ways that spark curiosity and build a foundation of faith.

  • Gentle Outdoor Exploration – From creekbeds to playgrounds and wide-open fields, children get to experience nature every day, learning to appreciate God’s creation in a hands-on way.

  • First Friendships – With small groups and caring leaders, campers begin building friendships through songs, games, and shared play that make them feel included and connected.

  • Active Little Bodies – Whether splashing in the pool with life vests, bouncing on the pirate ship, or enjoying simple group games, Discovery Camp keeps kids moving while meeting them at their level.

  • Creative Play – Crafts, music, and imagination-driven activities encourage self-expression and give children special keepsakes to share at home.

Safety

We love to have fun, but take safety extremely seriously. Your Discovery 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.
