Our most precious treasures are our children.
Giving them a rich and fulfilling childhood is so very important and intrinsic
to their health and well-being. Children need time to enjoy the simple pleasures
of life as well as time to play, dream, and to explore. They need time for
sitting under the stars, long walks with special friends, exciting challenges
that call them forth to grow and to discover, and time to be children. Unique
pressures face today's youth. In their often fast-paced and complicated world,
sometimes important ingredients for a wholesome childhood are not fully
realized.
Here your child will be part of a special camp family. Careful teaching of new
disciplines and skills help to enhance a child's self esteem while broadening
his or her horizons. In this happy setting, with a host of new friends and
opportunities, we'll encourage your child to laugh and play and live life to the
fullest.
Our desire and our commitment to your child is the same as for our own:
to create a place where they can grow physically, spiritually, and emotionally
within a consistent framework of Christian ideals. Please allow us the privilege
of including your child in our camp family.
Religious
Philosophy: Camps Kahdalea and
Chosatonga are owned by the Trufant Family. We
consider ourselves a traditional North Carolina mountain
summer camp with Christian ideals... and we are serious
about our ideals. We invite staff with a deep
devotion to God and we ask that they live it out on a
day to day basis. We ask our staff to "put
their faith on the table" and if the campers wish
to pick it up they may. We never want a camper to
feel "put upon" regarding their faith
life. We have a Christian philosophy, but we
greatly love and respect our Jewish roots and we eagerly
invite Jewish campers and counselors to join us at camp.
They find a great home here and add much and are
respected much.
Here is a quote from our
counselor recruiting material that sums up our
calling. "Our
greatest ministry is having a staff with a true and deep
commitment to God, a desire to please Him and to grow in
our faith. Faith is "caught" when campers see
a committed staff walking out their faith in day to day
life. We invite our staff to model their faith with joy
and enthusiasm."
A
strong emphasis is placed on God, encouraging faith and
Judeo-Christian
character-building in our interdenominational worship
programs. Inspirational campfires, Sunday morning church
services and other special times comprise the religious
aspect of camp. We have Mass on Sundays
for our Catholic campers and staff.
