Gerald has been leading in worship for 25+ years and really enjoys the opportunity to lead at CentriKid Camps. This year will be extra special as two of his kids (Miles and Gavin) will be leading with him in the band. Miles and Gavin each were CentriKid campers for three years and are currently in high school.
about the campus
Gardner-Webb is placed in small town Boiling Springs, North Carolina. It is a quiet and clean campus that makes camp feel like the only thing going on in the world. This campus does provide a pool for campers. On check-in day, campers will be able to take a swim test to swim in the deep end.
in case of bad weather
We communicate with Group Leaders on-site when we know bad weather is coming, and our staff have plans in place whenever storms pop-up unexpectedly.
In case of inclement weather, we use the Voss Gym and other buildings on campus to keep campers safe while still being able to enjoy each activity at camp. Your Camp Director will keep you updated on everything you need to know when conditions like these arise at camp.
