Every year, CAP offers two summer camp programs, Camp Andrew Jackson and Camp Shawnee. They provide a rewarding week of learning and fun to more than 1,000 Appalachian children. The camps serve those who could otherwise not afford the opportunity to attend a summer camp, and many children look forward to it as their only vacation during the year.
Traditional activities such as canoeing fishing and arts and crafts are also offered by both camps. While all the activities are fun for the children, they provide staff the opportunity to teach important life skills such as leadership, safety, team building, self-esteem and respect for others. All camp volunteers receive room and board and the opportunity to attend the ICHTHUS Christian music festival in June.
