Summer Camp

Registration for Summer 2025 will open on January 7th!

Until then, 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!
