If your child is planning a future trip to Lake Champion or is here right now, we want you to have the information you need to rest easy while he or she is away. There are many activities at camp in which your child may be participating. Whether they are challenged on the high ropes course, playing in the waterfront or spending time in the game room, their safety is our top concern.
