Alford Lake is a place where values matter and people thrive! The Alford Lake Experience means a gift of strength, enthusiasm, warmth and fun. It fosters growth of each individual toward becoming an effective citizen in a society where challenge is with us each day and it will help prepare our children to become healthy, wise adults!
Why should we provide the Alford Lake Experience for our children?
ALFORD LAKE IS A PLACE . .
- Where our children are unconditionally supported and loved
- Where young adults act as significant role models in our children’s lives as they support strong family values
- Where each child is valued and empowered to make healthy, productive decisions that teach a lifetime of decision-making skills
- Where character development comes first in all that we do
- Where our personal resume is built on a foundation of integrity that travels with us each step we take in life
- Where quality teaching, partners with challenge and fun, helping our campers to grow in solid skill achievement
- Where the ultimate atmosphere is one of safety – in emotional boundaries, in living space and in the total camp environment
- Where your parenting is appreciated, supported and complimented
- Where leadership is constantly encouraged and guided at all age levels . . . which leads to individuals willing to ‘step up’ and guide others
- Where ALC members are continually ‘charged’ with standing by their beliefs so that when difficult situations occur, each can be strong in their response
- Where choices are provided to enhance the skill of self-assessment and daily planning
- Where self-reliance helps us take responsibility in helping to build community
- Where education is apparent everyday, whether in the academic or recreational aspects of our program, awareness of our actions, growing knowledge of our strengths, or the reality that there are areas where we naturally succeed and others where we have to work harder
- Where campers learn to further recognize their love of family, achieve being successfully separate from their family, and find (to their surprise) that they can miss home and still love their camp as part of an extended family
