Top Ten Activities at Village Creek Bible Camp

Village Creek Bible Camp and Retreat Center is located in the northeast corner of Iowa. This camp is a hidden treasure that many people do not even know is there. Tucked into the valley, this camp is beautiful inside and out. The staff is there to serve and go out of their way to ensure every camper's needs are met and they all have a great camping experience. There are so many fun activities and in this article I will list my top ten favorite!

1. The Ropes Challenge Course is one you must visit! A giant tree climb, rope swing, Burma bridge, and rock repel are just some of the events. This challenge course is on top of a high ridge that boasts of amazing views. The hike is challenging just to get there! Once you are on the top of the hill, you can view the valleys in each direction.

2. New to VCBC in 2005 is the paint ball course. Just above the lake is a fabulous wooded paint ball course. You don't need to bring anything, they have it all. Padded gear, the guns and paint balls are all included in the fee to play the course. Kids and adults have enjoyed this paint ball course for hours upon hours.

3. Visit the Village Creek Stable for some awesome horseback rides. The arena is a great place to start with riding lessons given each day. Once you feel comfortable on horseback, you can enjoy a beautiful trail ride. The horse trails curve through the woods and offer some fabulous nature views. There is even a trail for experienced riders that will take you to the top of the ridge. The horses are all very well behaved and ready to take you on an awesome ride!

4. One more of my favorite activities is tubing down Village Creek. The slow current will take you on a relaxing ride through the valley. Tubes are provided and life jackets are available as well. Just be sure to grab an old pair of shoes so you can do a little creek stomping as well!
