Safety
Matters

OUR FACILITY:

Our Facility Team works hard to make sure we are above and beyond state and national safety codes in all our facilities.

Throughout the year, our buildings are inspected every week for repairs or upkeep.

During the summer, we train our Summer Staff on how to clean well so your campers can enjoy a clean and safe experience.

OUR STAFF:

We make it a goal to hire outgoing, approachable and friendly Camp Cabin Leaders! We know how important it is to surround children with positive, encouraging role models, especially when they are away from home.

All staff go through background checks before joining our team.

Our Cabin Leaders receive intensive training how to best include all campers and find ways to respond and help your child navigate through emotional struggles.

All our Summer Staff undergo hands-on training in CPR/First Aid.

Our Core Team includes Emergency Medical Responders, Emergency Medical Technicians, and a Paramedic Instructor.

SPIRITUALLY:

It’s important to know what to expect from your spiritual leaders. That’s why:

At Camp Rivercrest, we are passionate about the Kingdom of God, teaching from the Bible, and believing Jesus is the only way to salvation.

Activities

Axe Throwing

Got what it takes to hit a target with an axe? Grab some friends and family and check out our Axe Throwing Range!

Arrow Tag

Like dodgeball, but with bows and arrows!! Don’t worry though: our arrows have a large foam pad on the end so they will safely bounce off players and obstacles. Our Arrow Tag Court is the perfect size for a friendly skirmish so grab some friends and come channel your inner Robin Hood! Bows, foam-padded arrows, and facemasks provided.

Climbing Wall

Our 40-foot climbing wall is a blast for all ages! Different levels of difficulty can provide a challenge for everyone. When not climbing, enjoy the attached lookout tower, where you can observe 100 feet over the Platte River!

High Ropes Course

Our high ropes course contains three elements that will push you to your limits. Walk across a log in mid-air, balance on a high wire, or take the leap of faith and jump off of the pamper pole. It is a great bonding experience and provides a fun, action-packed activity for young and old alike.

Swimming Pool

Dive off the high dive into our 12-foot pool. If you prefer to relax in the cool of the pool, enjoy our shallow side, which ranges from 3 to 5 feet. The pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Challenge & Initiatives Course

Challenge your group to grow closer and work as a team as we push you to use critical thinking skills to solve problems on this unique course. This is a great teambuilding activity for schools, youth groups, adult groups, and mission teams. From encouraging your teammates to balance on a wire, to your entire group working their way across an obstacle course, there are opportunities for everyone to both shine and be challenged! Call or e-mail for prices.
