Summer Camp
We understand how difficult navigating all of the summer camp choices can be. You want your child to grow, learn, and make real connections while being safe, accepted, and cared for.
We can help you give them the best week of their summer!
summer camp
Creating meaningful youth experiences for over 50 years.
Each summer at camp, we help foster a better understanding of God, self, others, and nature.
Our overnight camps run Sunday – Friday from mid-June to mid-August. Your child will experience a variety of outdoor adventures like hiking, mountain biking, climbing and swimming but most importantly making true meaningful connections.

Happy Campers
Be open to new people and new experiences.
I’ve learned so much about others and myself, trying new things like climbing and mountain biking.
Cate
Camper
He had this sense of pride and independence when he came home!
Being at camp gave our son the opportunity to be completely unplugged and have all of these new adventures. When he got home he seemed so grown up and couldn’t wait to go back.
