about the campus
Skycroft’s campus is close together, which makes keeping up with campers and getting to see them at Recreation and Track Times easy. Also, the Skycroft staff is fantastic and dedicated to making it an incredible week at camp!
CentriKid Camps offer a 4-day camp and a 3-day camp at Skycroft. There is lots of fun and intentionality fit into three and four days! For 4-day camp, churches have the option to leave Thursday night or Friday morning.
additional track time options
Skycroft Adventure Track includes a Water Slide, a Zip Line, and Bazooka Ball. Kids will LOVE their time here!
amenities on campus
There are fun hang time options that include a huge water slide, Gaga ball, basketball, 9 Square, a carnival, zip line, Bazooka Ball, and the pool. Bazooka Ball and the zip line do require purchased tickets. The last night will include s’mores and a camp fire, weather permitting!
Skycroft has a great snack shop, Hebrews Cafe, with lots of great food options ranging in price from 50 cents to $3.
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 Nelson building 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.
