Dear Friends:
It is with the happiest heart that I tell you the good news, we are planning to have a fantastic camp season! There is so much pent up anticipation, from our staff and campers, and we just can’t wait to see everyone again!
As we prepare all of the necessary documents for camp registration, we are fully aware that everyone will want to know how we plan to keep our campers safe from COVID, best we can, during their time at Procter. We are very fortunate to be accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), who has been working tirelessly with the CDC, the YMCA of the USA, and others, to pull together all of the relevant information into one place.

And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:11
We have a COVID Camp Guide to follow with protocol and procedures for everything camp. We will have a great Health Care Team in place to conduct the General Readiness Assessment, Daily/Weekly Readiness Assessment, and be trained in Preparing for if Someone Gets Sick, and Special Considerations and Resources.
There is nothing more important to us than the safety and well-being of our campers and staff. Rest assured that we will be ready and have all the necessary precautions in place to run a fun, but mindful, camp operation this summer.
If you have specific questions, please reach out to me directly at aboyd@proctercenter.org, or call at 614-425-2892, and please leave a message if I don’t answer, and I will call you back.
We will be updating our COVID resource page on our website regularly. See you soon.
Blessings and Peace,
Amy R. Boyd
Executive Director

Join us, as we help care for the pigs, chickens, and more! Dig in the dirt, sow the seeds, and harvest the abundance of the gardens. Experience the bounty of God’s good earth at Procter this summer.
Up in the morning, with the chickens and rooster, to thank God for his gifts at the outdoor chapel. After breakfast, farm chores and farm fun until lunch. Rest after lunch, and then enjoy all the fun camp activities, such as swimming, fishing, canoeing, tie-dye, arts and crafts, and outdoor games.
Let’s take a step back to simpler times. Learn how to quilt, knit, crochet, make ice cream, apple butter and candles. Each week, the family camp groups will be working on quilts to leave for Procter, to use on the beds of Thompson Lodge. We will bless these quilts and the hands that made them at our closing Eucharist on Sunday, after breakfast.

Do you know how to sew, knit or crochet? Would you like to volunteer in the Sewing Center to help others learn this valuable skill? Do you have a working sewing machine, that you are not using, that you would like to donate to the Procter Camp program? How about an abundance of fabric that you can share with others to make warm and welcoming quilts for Procter Conference Center? If you said yes to any of these things, please fill out the Quilts for Procter form, and let us know what you would like to do, and we will be back in touch with you. Thank you!

Come out and play this summer at the Procter Center! Enjoy the sunshine and blue skies. Run, jump, and play with your friends. Learn how to feed the pigs and chickens, and collect the eggs on the farm. Help plant and harvest the garden with the farmers. Day Camp gatherings will take place in a covered outdoor pavilion, where we can socially distance in the fresh outdoor air.
Do you like to swim? How about learning how to swim or becoming better at it? Daily, we will offer swimming lessons and what we call, free swim, which may be canoeing and corcling, jumping off the fun bouncer, or more!
Maybe crafts are your thing? Enjoy the craft room in The Barn, with lots of options for artistic expression. There will be a fiber arts area where you can learn to knit, crochet, macramé, or sew by hand, or on a sewing machine!
Do you like to play sports? We have every ball imaginable, and we will have lots of time to play many games.
How about nature? Does that excite you? Explore our woods and learn to identify plants and animals by their tracks.
Relaxing is always good too. Chill out in our hammocks, under the trees, with a good book.
Our staff have all passed fingerprinted background checks and Safe Church Training. Prior to each season, we have a two-week staff training that all counselors, returning and new, must attend.
Lunch and snack will be provided each day. Transportation is available from London City Schools with pick up and drop off in the High School parking lot. More details to follow on times for pick up and drop off. Camper drop-off and pick-up at Procter Center is also an option.

Well, it has been a challenging year. Do you need a break? For one week this summer, do you want to come and chill with your friends while having the time of your life? Come and celebrate the love of God in the wide open spaces at Procter. There are so many things to do here! For those of you who know, all of your favorites will be back!

There are lots of new things to experience as well. For instance, there will be a vegetable garden that is just for campers! Learn about soil, plants, and do activities, like harvest veggies to make yummy salsa! Have you ever fed the pigs or collected chicken eggs? There will be lots of adventures for you to enjoy with your friends this summer on the farm, and elsewhere on the property.
Come and reconnect with God and your friends at Procter. We missed you!
