Daily Schedule & Camp Activities
Every day at Fort Roller starts with a delicious family-style breakfast in Hilltop Hall! After some cabin time getting ready for the day, it’s camp specific activities until lunch— for example: Adventure Camp flies down our 1,500’ Triple Zip Line while Classic Camp spends the morning competing in an Archery Tag tournament!
After lunch, Fort Roller campers head to free time where they can play Gaga, swim in the pool, play a game of knockout in the gym, get a milkshake… you name it! They also have the option of signing up for special elective activities during free time, such as paintball or a horseback trail ride! After two full hours of action-packed free time, another camp specific activity time begins. Afternoon activities end around 5:00 so campers have some time to shower and rest before dinner.
Following dinner is many campers' favorite part of the day— the evening service in the Longhouse! Here, campers will experience fun, games, dancing, singing, and age appropriate Bible lessons. Services have a conversational feel and present stories from the Bible, then provide time for campers to ask questions in a small group setting. When small groups have concluded, all of Fort Roller will enjoy the camp-wide evening activity. From pool parties, to carnivals and skit night, it’s always an unforgettable time! Campers head back to their bunkhouses between 9:30 and 10:00 to get ready for bed & Counselors make sure everyone gets the rest they need because they'll wake up in just a few short hours and do it all over again!

2025 Camp Theme
Some of the week's camp activities, along with the evening services, will take on the feel of our theme and this summer's theme is... “No Matter What!”
What does it mean to trust in God? It can be easy to trust Him when things are going well, but what happens when unexpected challenges and trials emerge and start to shake us? Hebrews 10:23 says “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Trusting in God at first means getting to know Him. The more we learn about Him, the more we see His faithfulness. So, what does this look like? Together we will look at the story of Daniel and his friends facing many challenges, yet God remained faithful. Join us this summer as we learn what it means to trust in God, No Matter What!
