Summer Camp 2009The Camp Albemarle Experience
Camp Albemarle offers overnight camping experiences for children and youth of all faiths and denominations. Our mission is to provide safe, fun, and meaningful activities that allow campers an opportunity to build relationships with peers, staff, and God. Many Presbyterian clergy speak of their summer camp experiences as some of the most important in their faith journey. One of the significant ways that New Hope Presbytery helps parents fulfill their baptismal vows to nurture children in the faith is through its summer camping program at Camp Albemarle. Camp Albemarle provides a structured daily program in a close Christian community. We have clear goals of what we want our campers to take home with them when camp is over. Our goal is that all campers will have: - experienced a joyful week in which they have felt secure and well cared for NOTES: If a camp is listed on line as "full" please call the camp office at 252-726-4848, or e-mail Office@campalbemarle.org Because we must fill cabins with males or females, we are accepting a limited number of registrations on line.

Sea Kayak CampJuly 12-17, 2009
for campers entering 6th-9thTuition: $515The silent joy of sea kayaking is an unobtrusive way to connect with nature. Sea kayaking enables the adventurer to experience the rhythm of the seas just as the whales and dolphins do. Campers will live at camp and do some regular camp activities but spend about half a day kayaking every day. Experienced, professionally certified instructors will teach technique and safety before guiding trips around Huggins Island and Bear Island. These camps are physically demanding so a good level of fitness is required to enjoy the experience. This is a begining kayak camp, but most campers will find 3-4 hours on the water as enough for each day. This program is offered in cooperation with Barrier Island Outfitters.

SCUBA CampJuly 26-31, 2009 for campers entering 9-12thTuition: $710Camp Albemarle, in cooperation with Discovery Diving, is offering SCUBA camp this summer. Campers will spend 45 hours getting instruction and dive practice in order to receive their PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) Junior Open Water Certification, if they are under 15, or PADI Open Water Certification if they are over 15. PADI Junior Open Water Certification can be upgraded to PADI Open Water certification after their 15th birthday with no additional instruction (just a small fee). Fee includes all classroom instruction, two pool instruction sessions and four open water dives (weather permitting). We are planning four shore entry dives and one dive off a boat on a real ship wreck! Participants must provide their own mask, snorkle, fins and book (details will be sent with confirmation), but everything else will be provided. Because of the amount of time required for campers to receive this certification they will be spending most of their week learning about diving and actually diving, so normal camp activities will be limited.
Note: Because of the extra time required, this camp will end at 5:30 on Friday, however no dinner will be served at camp for those campers.
