Calling all teens to Camp Cotubic!

Camp Cotubic is located on 150 serene acres of fields and trees and includes a beautiful 14-acre lake for exciting water activities. Located near Bellefontaine, Ohio, it is approximately 60 miles northwest of Columbus and 60 miles northeast of Dayton.

Dorm Life and Spiritual Activities

Dorms are grouped by age range, providing campers with the chance to form lasting friendships with peers who share a similar desire to grow in their faith. Each unit is guided by counselors who serve to guide the dorm in a positive direction, helping the campers develop meaningful relationships inside and outside of the dorm. Counselors create an atmosphere of fun and teamwork while prioritizing spiritual development through daily activities such as sports, team-building, Christian living sessions, campfires, dorm discussions, dances, and more.

The week will culminate in a restful Sabbath, a semi-formal banquet, and an evening dance. Campers will sleep in bunk beds with mattresses and will need to bring their own bedding (sheets/blanket or sleeping bag), as well as their own pillow and towels.

Packing List

Details Everyone Needs to Know

Dorms & Campers

  • Campers should address older staff by Mr., Mrs. or Miss (last name); younger staff by Mr., Mrs. or Miss (first name).
  • Campers will need to wear camp-issued UYC T-shirts for activities every day. Laundry will be done in order to make this possible. The lead counselors will decide which colors to wear each day.
  • Campers MUST be accompanied by at least one "buddy" or by a staff member when moving around camp and when they are not with their dorm.
  • If conducted, dorm inspections are held in the first afternoon block every day (1:30 - 2:30 p.m.).
  • Eat breakfast as a dorm. All other meals campers can sit where they would like.
  • The two dorms scheduled for kitchen duty (every meal) should go through the line first.
  • Evening activities: there will be a variety of (but not all) activities available for camper choice during some evenings. Campers will need to sign up so that staff can know where to find them.

Staff

  • Staff curfew is at 11:30 p.m. Fellowship between 10-11:30 p.m. should be limited to the LogBuilding.
  • Staff shirts: wear the specified color as often as possible; required on Sundays.
  • Counselors: you may take off one (1) activity block (maybe during evening activity time). If possible, this should not be during water activities, Bible class, or the Amazing Race.
  • Activity staff: you will have blocks that you are not scheduled. Make sure you try to use these as "down times" because we will also need you on occasional evenings to oversee your activities. Evening campfire and christian living is required for staff, as well as for campers.
