Summer Starter
What to Expect
As Camp Arcadia’s first retreat of the season, Summer Starter is for adult guests who are interested in experiencing a more “independent” Camp Arcadia experience. After a buffet lunch, guests can pack a sack lunch with the help of our kitchen staff and head off on their own adventures for the day. After golfing, shopping, wine tasting, hiking, biking or even working remotely at a nearby library, guests return for fellowship hour, dinner and Bible study to cap off the evening. You might choose to stop by the Trading Post for an ice cream treat or marvel in the beauty of the sunset while sitting with new friends (or familiar ones!) on the patio. Our Summer Starter guests deeply value the sense of community during this week – and many attend again and again!

Who’s On First? Practicing First Priorities For Healthy/Holy Living
Everyone wants to experience a vivacious, vibrant, victorious life! Yet restlessness, discontent, anxiety and fear are steering so many people’s lives. There is more to life than plodding from activities and crises to more of the same. Focusing on the “Firsts” that the Bible tells us about helps get our priorities in order and leads us to live in the joy, abundance and freedom Jesus offers.
