Tracks

We don’t do “camp classes” at Camp Vineyard.

Instead, we want you to do something that makes you say “That’s neat!” In fact, we used to call these Neat! Groups, but now we call them Tracks*. Here’s a list of Tracks that we normally do, the list will be updated to reflect the choices available this year once registration opens. Choices subject to change. If one of your changes after you’ve registered, we’ll let you know.

How To Pick Your Track

If You’re a Junior Camper:

You’re Doing Activity Track

You’re going to have a lot of fun with all the Greatest Hits of Camp!

If You’re a Senior Camper:

You Can Pick 1 Track

Activity, Worship, or Ministry & Leadership

Activity Track

Activity Track is like the “Camp Sampler Platter”. You’ll do a rotation 2 of these per day with your team.

Mad Science

Amber’s back, this time with a science-based escape room! You and your group will solve puzzles as you race against the clock to find the answers!

Canoes

Spend a little time on Woodland’s lake, taking in the scenery, and making faces at the people on the zip line.

Duct Tape, Etc.

The classic! Indulge your summer camp dream of making a nearly functional kitchen sink out of duct tape. Or create bracelets, chalk art, or any one of a number of projects.

Giant Swing

An immediate favorite when it was introduced, Woodland’s Giant Swing has to be experienced to be believed. Your friends haul you in the air – and you have to let yourself go. Nothing like a little adrenaline!

Zip Line

Woodland’s Zip Line is the quickest way across the lake (and back)! It’s a little less intense than the Giant Swing, and it’s sure to fill up fast!

Climbing Tower

Get your feet off the ground and challenge yourself with Woodland’s climbing tower!

Other Tracks – Senior Campers Only

Senior Campers can choose Activity Track or ONE of the following Tracks instead:

Worship

For musicians (instrumentalists and singers) who want to learn more about playing on a worship team, leading a team, or getting one going in their church. This Track will cover the spiritual as well as the technical aspects of worship, answer some common questions, and help you avoid some of the common mistakes musicians make as they learn how to play with a band.

Ministry & Leadership - Updated for 2024!

This is like a “Best Of Camp Vineyard” Track! You’ve got the serious stuff: Talking to the Speaker, asking some questions, and spending three days with other students exploring what ministry and leadership look like. Then you’ve got the fun stuff: Your choice of things like the Zip Line or Giant Swing.

*Tracks? What happened to Neat! Groups?

Yep, we know. We created Activity Track as a way to meet the COVID guidelines in 2021, and it turned out that everybody enjoyed getting to do a little of everything. So we kept that as a replacement for choosing 3 individual groups. Over the next couple of years, we realized “Neat! Groups” was becoming confusing since we no longer did things how we used to. So, starting in 2024, they became Tracks.
