Calvary Campout

August 4-5, 2023

What is the Calvary Campout? We’re opening up nearly 20 acres of fields, woods, and creek on our property for a night of camping with your friends and family. We’ll have designated areas for tents and Trailers/RVs. We’ll have activities available throughout the evening and we’ll wrap up the night with a time of songs, stories, and s’mores around the campfire.

Who’s Invited? This event is open to the whole community! If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

Where is the Campout? We’re located at 43065 Joy Road in Canton. We’ll be camping in the fields on the south end of our property, and if you’re really adventurous you can stake out some space in the woods for hammocks or a small tent. Space for RVs/trailers will be available in the parking lot. Generators will NOT be allowed this year due to noise concerns.

Activites: 9-Square in the Air, Yard Games (Corn Hole, Can Jam, Spikeball), Organized Kickball Games for different age groups, open space for frisbee, soccer, and basketball, fire pits (Bring your own s’mores or pie irons), and a time of songs, stories, and s’mores around the fire after dark.

What about food?
Friday Night: We’ll have fire pits available if you want to roast hot dogs, marshmallows, or make hobo pies/pudgy pies. You’re also welcome to bring your own grill or camp stove. Not much of a cook? We’re a block away from Taco Bell, Arby’s, McDonalds, Einstein Bros, and more. We’re also going to have an ice cream truck stop by on Friday night for those who want a sweet treat.

Saturday Morning: Join us for a pancake breakfast on Saturday morning. We’ll be firing up the griddles and serving up pancakes and sausages. Gluten-free pancakes made on a dedicated gluten-free griddle will also be available.

What does it cost? This event is free! Bring a few bucks if you want something from the ice cream truck! (The ice cream truck also accepts digital payments). An all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast will be served on Saturday morning for $3 per person. Cash and digital payments will be accepted Saturday morning.

What if I don’t want to camp? Just want to come for the activities and fellowship Friday night? Go for it! Want to come for breakfast on Saturday? Awesome! Feel free to join us for as much or as little as you like!

What is the bathroom situation? We’ll have indoor bathrooms available at PCA for the duration of the event.

Trailer/RV Info: Space for RVs/trailers will be available in the parking lot. Generators will NOT be allowed this year due to noise concerns.
