Winter Camp Zephyr

Registration for 2025 will open this Fall

A Wonderful Winter Experience!

You don’t need to look too far from home for an awesome winter break! At Zephyr Point your child will take an adventure, enjoying all that a week on Lake Tahoe in the winter has to offer! Winter Camp Zephyr is all about creating unforgettable experiences for campers.

Winter Camp Zephyr will hold many of the same types of activities as Summer Camp Zephyr only with a frosty twist. See below some of the highlighted activities:

Skits: Each morning all of camp will watch (and sometimes participate in) hilarious and entertaining skits put on by day camp staff that are sure to make your camper laugh.

Songs: Tommy toad, Beaver Song, Waves of Mercy, Banana song, Fruit of the spirit and so many more, are essential in the camp experience.

Games: Afternoons are for games! Campers will get time every afternoon to play awesome games! This time will be a time for all campers to get outside, even in the cold. Games may include snow ball fights, snowman building and other snow related activities.

Crafts: Campers get to learn new crafts every day. Anything from Q-tip snowflakes to snow globes are in the picture.

Rotating Morning Activities: Campers get a different morning activity every day! Morning activities may include; snow science experiments, relay races, baking, canoe rides and more!

Snow Play: Campers will get daily time outside to free play in the snow. We love the creativity that campers have when given time just to play in the snow.

Trail Talks: This is the time in the day that campers get to sit down with a snack, their friends and their counselor. During this time, campers will have an opportunity to explore their spirituality through conversations connecting faith, community, and nature. Zephyr Point uses the Christian tradition and the example of Jesus as a lens to help campers see the value, dignity, and humanity in everyone. We welcome and respect all campers and all spiritual backgrounds to come and participate as they feel comfortable.
