Our Speaker: Mason Moore
Hey! I am so excited to be this year’s Cub Camp speaker! Camp JIM has been a part of my life since I was in 5th grade. I have had the blessing to be able to be a counselor for a few years, being the Summer Program intern for a year, and now—after a few years of a break—back as a speaker! I am currently living in Chaska and working for the City of Shakopee as their Recreation Specialist, so I get to have fun all year long! Some of my favorite activities during the summer are Disc golf, Spikeball, and getting out on the water.

Policies and what not to bring
- All campers must attend all required activities like meal time and chapels.
- Cell phones are not allowed at camp. If one is found it will be turned into the office for safe keeping and returned at end of camp week. It is our desire that campers are able to “unplug” during the week allowing them to fully experience camp and all it has to offer. Not having cell phones removes distractions, increases safety and prevents inappropriate pictures from being posted. If your camper needs to call home they can ask their counselor and arrangements can be made.
- NO drugs, alcohol, magazines, pornography, e-cigarette devices, fireworks, smoke bombs, duct tape, weapons of any kind, knives, music, i pods, mp3, mp4 or related items are allowed.
- Because swimwear can be a distraction for some, we do not allow bikinis “unless covered by a shirt” or speedo’s at camp.
- Do not bring clothing with vulgar writing, nudity or with holes in bikini areas. We will ask you to change if you show up with the above listed.
- Bulling and fighting is absolutely forbidden and campers will be sent home if it persists at the parents expense, no refund will be provided.
- Sexual harassment is forbidden including but not limited to “unwanted physical touch, cat calling, name calling”. Campers will be sent home at parent/guardians expense, no refund will be provided.
