We believe that:
* Simple fun is the most fun
* We were made to play outdoors
* Life is meaningful relationships
* Rich tradition reminds us of who we are
* True personal growth begins and ends with our Creator
Camp Huawni has a total of four sessions, including 2 two-week sessions and 2 one-week sessions, and limits each session to 130 campers. Many campers enroll in up to 4 sessions, a total of 6 weeks. Camp Huawni is a Christian-based camp but welcomes children from any faith background.
