These Programs are usually similar to Summer camps, but they occur year round, and offer a religious message, which usually include prayer throughout the day, and sacramental meetings on Sundays. Like summer camps, they also offer many activities such as hiking, swimming, rock climbing, and white water rafting. They usually last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks, and include religious activities in their daily routine. They encourage children and teens to more in touch with their spiritual beliefs.
