Summer Camp

Registration for Summer 2025 is OPEN!!

Check out our 2025 dates on our Summer Camps Page

When we put aside distractions, God’s voice can often be heard. Maybe through a fun campfire time, or through a friend, or simply in the stillness by the water. Camp is a wonderful place to learn about and get to know the God who loves and cares for us.

Get closer with your friends, and meet new ones! Together with your Cabin Leaders you’ll go through a lot of adventures, making bonds that can last a lifetime!

The lake, forest, and high up on the zipline, climbing wall and King Swing! You’ll get out there to experience new and exciting things. Take a break from regular life and dive into an adventure!

Nakamun Summers

Catch The Action

Summer Activities So many fun things to do!

  • Zipline

    Zipline

    Our zipline is about 40 feet tall, giving you an amazing view of our property and the lake beyond. Participants are fitted with harnesses and helmets, then clipped into the ladder as they climb to the top. Once there, a staff member clips their trolly to the zipline and they’re ready to glide across the field towards the lake!

    King Swing

    Get strapped in for the ride of your life! The King Swing lifts 3 riders at a time up almost 50 feet into the air. Participants not on the swing help pull a rope down the hill, lifting the riders to the top, or to their desired height. When ready, one rider pulls the release string and all swing down and out towards the field. It’s a thrill!

    Campfire

    We have multiple fire pits on our property to accommodate multiple groups of different sizes at a time. Fire pits have bench or bleacher seating and sheds with chopped wood nearby. We supply matches and paper to help you get going. In the summer, campfires are a daily occurrence with silly songs, worship, and a message from our speaker for the week. It’s a great time. Be sure to bring bug spray!

    We have a new campfire location! In 2023 we opened The Cove – a covered campfire area that seats 300 people! More info on this project can be found here!
