2026 Camp Indy Bridge (13 year old) Application

This application is for our 13 year olds!
Welcome to Camp Indy's Bridge application process! We are so excited to spend a part of the summer together.
Bridge is brand new for our 13 year olds and will run 2 different weeks during the summer. Our goal with Bridge is to help in the transition into the leadership role of Scions (14 and 15 year olds). Bridge will operate on it's own schedule, just like a new age group, full of fun and enriching activities, games, swimming, Bible study, and discipleship, with a sprinkling in of leadership training and exposure opportunities.
This application must be filled out by the Bridge candidate. We hope that this application will help develop skills necessary in leadership and the working environment for camp and beyond. Leaving this page may not save changes. We recommend typing out short answer responses in a separate document and then copying over.

Expectations and Program Overview:

The goal of our Bridge program is that participants would transition well from being a camper into the leadership role of a Scion (14 and 15 year olds). While this program is not exclusively a Counselor in Training camp, participants will be presented with opportunities to develop the heart of leadership! The daily schedule will consist of Bible study, games, team building, songs & skits, swimming, snack and more. Participants will also go canoeing down Fall Creek or creek stomping and hiking off campus, typically on Thursdays.
Bridgers should be present for the entirety of the camp day, starting with drop off between 8-8:15am and pick up between 4:15-5:00pm.

The Application Process:

As a part of this age group, candidates are required to fill out an application to be considered. We desire proactive campers that are excited for new opportunities to grow and develop. We expect that individuals carry themselves with maturity and positive attitudes as they will be held to a higher standard than other age groups.

Once application is received, we will review it, and if selected, your name will go into a drawing where we will randomly select participants for the 2026 summer.

Because of the very limited spaces available in this program each week, and the increasing demand, we are limiting the amount of registered weeks throughout the summer. On the application, you will be required to select your top choice.

We encourage you to take this application seriously and answer each question fully. Please be ready with a parent to help you with the scheduling section of the application.
