Meet at Vandalia UMC - Drop off at 2 pm; Pickup at 2 pm on Saturday, June 20.
Like to explore places that few others have been? Experience the adventure of caving! You’ll get dirty as you climb, crawl and squeeze though the best wild caves in Kentucky. Discover ancient cave formations like stalactites, popcorn, flowstone and
many others. Work with others to find unexplored passages, waterfalls,
and mudslides. Our experienced cave leaders will teach you about the
beauty of this underground world. But don’t stop there... try going over the edge as you rappel and rock climb on 30 to 60-foot cliffs! Campers will stay in tents at the Great Saltpetre Cave
Camp Ground in Rock Castle County, Kentucky. From there, we’ll travel out to several area caves as well as a local state park for some pool time. This week will be a journey that will allow us to become closer to God’s creation and build a fellowship of teamwork and trust.

A word about the Road Trip camp for Elementary and Middle School
students... Designed and directed by leaders from the Ohio River Valley (ORV) District, these Road Trip events are geared for children and youth in that area, but open and welcoming to everyone. Transportation, however, will be provided to and from the
greater Cincinnati area only. If you live in the ORV District and
would like to take advantage of the transportation to and from these
events, please write “transportation” in the buddy line of your registration form AND call the Camps office(800.437.0028) BEFORE June 5 to confirm a meeting location and time.

Add some vacation to your summer and make this “Road Trip” the journey
of a lifetime! Once you arrive at Camp Wesley, you’ll want to aim
for the archery range, conquer the challenge course, and whip down the
120-foot water slide! We’ll crank up the tunes with our awesome worship and your wheels will really spin when we enjoy an afternoon trip paddling down the Mad River. Your tank will be filled with fun as you swim, blob, or otherwise enjoy the lake, hike through the forest, chill in the pool, or sleep under the stars. This will certainly be a journey you won’t want to miss!
