The Summer Camping program at the Hardtner Camp & Conference Center
     The Camp Hardtner Camping Program continues to create an atmosphere of love and acceptance for campers, counselors and staff. This is accomplished each summer with an organized program of worship, music and recreational activities that encourages creativity, and acceptance that allows God’s love to flow freely. Each summer, more than 500 young people attend the various camp sessions held at the Hardtner Camp & Conference Center. It takes many people to have a successful summer camping program, they include:
• A creative Training Staff who equip the counselors with the many skills they will need during the summer.
• The many Camp Staff members (adults) that come in each week with the program and share their creativity with the campers.
• The nurses, who bring tender loving care to the Infirmary.
• The CIT’s (Counselors-in-training) who give a week or two to learn what it takes to be a counselor.
• The Permanent Staff (Counselors) - seventeen to nineteen outstanding young men and women who set the tone for a great summer. These folks share unconditionally their love, encouragement, creativity, support and their deep faith with the many campers that are entrusted to them during the summer.

Rules of Life
• We are a community of daily worship and prayer.
• Out of our worship and communion with God, we strive to respect the
   uniqueness of each individual.
• We do not put ourselves or one another down.
• Instead, we are willing to level with one another in love, honoring one    another with honesty and respect.
• Whatever we do, we do out of love for God, self and one another.
   We are in life together.
• Therefore, we are willing to give all we are to one another and, with
   God’s help, to offer more.
• In everything we do, we seek to be open to the Holy Spirit.
