Why Camp?

Christ Centered Camps

Helping Students Know Jesus

"A Christian camp experience with a program affiliated with the local church is the most commonly identified factor in a youth making a faith commitment." Impact 2818 is a ministry of the Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church and connected over 1,000 local congregations. *National Youth Commitment Survey

Encouraging a Life Long Relationship

"Evangelism is most effective among kids…2/3 of born again Christians made that commitment to Christ before their 18th birthday." People who become Christian before their teen years are more likely than those who converted at an older age to remain absolutely committed to their faith. *Barna Group Study

Discovering Their Intrinsic Value

At camp, your child will discover that they are a beloved child of God and that He has created them with a unique plan and purpose. They will see just how precious they are to the Creator of the Universe and to all who truly and dearly love them.

Beyond Positive Environments

Our camps are so much more than just another "positive" place to be. Christ is at the center of everything that is happening at camp. Campers encounter Jesus Christ and discover that God loves each of them uniquely. In that environment we develop positive attitudes and spaces by maintaining physical, emotional, and spiritual safety standards.

Our Challenge by Choice Approach

The concept of "Challenge by Choice" encourages campers to experience adventures and obstacles that will put them outside of their comfort zone. This helps them discover how to persevere, overcome, encourage others and work in teams. These moments help them continue to seek out the positive challenges that will shape their lives.
