Summer Camp
Please note that there are a couple of changes to our online registration. We now require a $50 deposit to hold your spot in any camp. We no longer have the pay later option.
if your camper is in need of a scholarship, you must contact the camp to apply for the scholarship before registering your camper online.
Please note all food allergies must be listed on the registration form. Any diet choices that are not an allergy or doctor prescribed must be talked over with our Program Director before registering your child for camp. Our staff will do their very best to accommodate all food preferences.
We have several summer camps to choose from. The camps range from 1st grade to Sr High camps. Starting with cabin camp, horse, fishing, paintball, mission work, and Camp on the Rock. Our mission is to provide attendees with a community of caring staff and leaders where opportunities for spiritual development can lead to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, through unique learning experiences in God's creation.
