If you are a Pastor, DCE, Youth Leader, or Teacher, you can bring a group of campers (minimum group of 5) to a 5-night camp session. Campers will be in cabins with other overnight campers and will participate in the regular camp schedule throughout the week. Daily, the Pioneer Leader (group leader from your church) will be given a specific time to meet up with your youth each day to use that time as you see fit. This is a great way to have your youth group bond as a whole and see the ways God is changing their lives throughout the week.
HOW TO REGISTER:
Pioneer reservations are done as a group by the group leader. Individual summer camp registrations are not accepted for the Pioneer program. Pioneer leader will hold the spots for their group through reservation form available below.
Fill out the Pioneer Reservation Form starting Nov. 5, 2024 to reserve spaces for your group! All registrations must be complete by May 1, 2025. After submitting reservation form and deposit, the group leader will receive detailed instructions for completing their group’s registration. Camp Lone Star will bill the church for the final payment (due 2 weeks before check-in).
Available sessions for Pioneer Program (Summer 2025): Weeks 1-4 & 6-9
*Alliance, Night Owl, and Teen Night Owl are specialty programs—please make sure campers are informed of the adventure they will embark on in these programs!
Cost for Pioneer Campers by program:
A $125 deposit per camper is required to reserve their spot.
LEADER REGISTRATION COST:
Each pioneer group is required to have at least one Pioneer Leader. The maximum leader to camper ratio is 1 leader : 10 campers. The cost per Pioneer Leader is $50. This includes adult lodging, linens, 14 meals and background check cost.
EXPECTATIONS OF THE PIONEER GROUP LEADER:
The Pioneer Leader serves as the liaison for their group as they prepare for their time at Camp Lone Star. Pioneer Leader will need to advertise and promote their selected week at Camp Lone Star, reserve the campers spots using the Pioneer Reservation Form, and guide camper families in the registration process after receiving a code to be used during registration.
During the camp session, you are required to meet with your Pioneer group for a designated hour at least twice throughout the week (Monday through Thursday). During this time, the camp staff will not be involved with your youth. You may decide to lead a Bible study, take a hike, play a game or use this time as you deem appropriate to connect with your group.
We encourage you to take this week as an opportunity it engage with your students during their daily activities; however, you are also welcome to use this week for personal growth and renewal.
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR PIONEER GROUP LEADERS:
You and other Pioneer Group Leaders will stay in separate quarters with private bathrooms and linen service. Please bring your own towels for swimming and lakefront activities. Campers are not to be in the facility used by Pioneer Leaders. (Private rooms are not guaranteed.)
CAMPER EXPERIENCE:
The youth you bring to Pioneer Camp are integrated into regular cabin groups and supervised by college-aged counselors. The groups consist of no more than ten campers of the same gender and similar ages. Generally, no more than three or four individuals from the same congregation are likely to be placed in the same cabin. Each group generally participates in typical camp activities, such as swimming, Bible study, canoeing, archery, challenge course, and campfire devotions.
The week concludes on Friday with the Closing Program at 10:45 am. Campers depart after the program.
