2026 Summer Theme: Following God's Call
This theme is about inviting campers to experience life as an adventure guided by God. Our theme verse is Isaiah 30:21 - "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'"
Like trail blazers exploring new paths, navigating obstacles, and choosing the right direction, campers will learn to follow God's voice in every part of their lives. Daily themes will include:
- Understanding that God guides each step in our lives
- Learning that God helps us navigate challenges
- Understanding God's guidance in our decisions
- Understanding perseverance and trusting God to finish well
- Encouraging and serving others
New in 2026
We're excited to offer a Family Camp experience this year over the July 4th weekend. We hope this will be a meaningful, fun, and formational event for each family that participates!
We also have good news for our youngest campers: Children ages 5 and 6 now have multiple camp options to pick from! Jr. Day Camp A and Jr. Day Camp B are each specially planned for our littlest campers to enjoy.

If you have questions about camp (ex.: what to pack, arrival and departure procedures, cabin mate requests, general healthcare at camp, etc.) please consult the Parent Information page for additional helpful info!

Some details about activities
Assigned activities – Includes things like nature studies, the climbing tower, and other challenge course activities.
Camper choice activities – In the resident camps for our older campers, there will be times when each individual camper will select from various planned activities. Options may be related to the arts (like crafts, dance, or drama), outdoor living (like slingshots, firebuilding, or funyaks), or sports (like soccer, kickball, or disc golf).
Cabin action time – Cabin groups will choose a simple activity like playing gaga, making friendship bracelets, or playing in the stream.
Evening Rec – When the whole camp assembles for various games on the rec field.
Swimming – Campers will have swim time each day, weather permitting.
Devotional time and worship time – Worship services are all-camp activities, and they will include singing and Bible-based teaching. The Bible study topic will be introduced during morning devotional time, and during the evening worship time, a speaker will present a message.
Meals – Most meals will be served on the kitchen deck, with food prepared and served by our kitchen staff. Campers will sit with their cabin group during these meals. Weather permitting, some meals (breakfast or supper) will also be prepared over the campfire at each cabin. Counselors will supervise the food preparation of those meals, using food and equipment supplied by the camp kitchen.
