Pioneer Village is the name of our junior camp, and it is one of the most exciting places on our campsite! Born out of a burden for 3rd-6th grade children, PV has met the spiritual needs of campers for decades. The theme song, "TeePee on a Hilltop," is a testimony to the 30-foot teepees that accommodated campers for years. However, thanks to generous donations of friends of Northland, our PV campers enjoy some of the nicest facilities at Northland: two new quadplex cabins and the recently completed Activity Center. With a desire to not forget the past, four teepees are used in addition to the cabins for housing each summer.

Camp Information

• Please plan to send campers for the entire camp week. Early dismissals are permitted in case of emergency only.
• Since safety is a priority, visitors are prohibited while camp is in session. Special exceptions may be granted in advance through the Camp Office.
• Use of camp phones or personal cell phones by campers during the camp week is prohibited. Emergency calls will be directed through the Camp Office to a sponsor. Of course, many campers travel to camp with their phones. We ask them to leave these with their sponsor to keep during the week. If no sponsor is available, then they can be kept in the Camp Office and will be returned Friday evening.
• Calls concerning safe arrival at Camp should be made to/from a sponsor with your group.
• Please send camper mail using the camper's name, church's name, and the camp week they are attending.
• Mark all personal belongings. Lost items that are not requested within two weeks following your week of camp are discarded. Requested items can be mailed to you at your expense.

Health and Safety

Our program is planned with health and safety as priorities. A full-time registered nurse is available 24 hours a day, and certified lifeguards supervise all water activities. Over-the-counter medication is provided by our Health Services Department. Please do not send medication unless prescribed by a doctor. All medication must be kept in its original labeled containers. For the health and safety of all campers, we request that campers who have contagious conditions or diseases not attend camp. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter of public health.

What to Bring

Warm sleeping bag, pillow, towels, toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc.), variety of clothes for warm and cool weather, swimsuit, extra clothes, tennis shoes (for rugged activities), light jacket, sweatshirts, Bible, notepad, pen or pencil, spending money (approximately $40-$50 in small bills), camera, flashlight, insect repellent

What Not to Bring

All food (no snacks are permitted in the cabins), cigarettes, tobacco, firearms, alcohol, skateboards, scooters, roller blades, bicycles, magazines, fireworks, nonprescription drugs, and almost any electronics (TV, radio, ipod, electronic games, cell phone, laptop, tablet, etc.).

Thanks for your help in these areas!

Check-in & Check-out

Check-in & Registration: Monday from 1:30-4:00 p.m.
Check-out & Departure: Saturday by 9:00 a.m.

Dress

No matter what the activity or setting, our desire is that our appearance is modest and not distracting. Therefore, our dress guidelines are meant to reflect those two principles. We do not want to be contradictory to parental or church authority, but we do ask all campers and sponsors to dress according to the following expectations while at Northland Camp:

• Most of the thigh should be covered when sitting.
• Please do not bring strapless shirts or tops with thin straps.
• Please do not bring tight or form-fitting clothing.

Our evening services are one of the highlights of the week, so we ask everyone to wear something nicer than activity clothes for those services. The attire isn't specified, and we have only two expectations: the Biblical principle of modesty, and that our clothing not be a distraction. Since games or other activities usually follow the other daily teaching times, activity attire is fine for those earlier sessions.

Feel free to call the camp office if you have any other questions.
