Deep in the heart of the soaring White Mountains, along the shores of shimmering Lake Winnipesaukee, there lies a magical place known to its inhabitants as New Hampshire. It’s a land of changing seasons, where autumn leaves blaze with colors so bright they could outshine a box of Crayola crayons, and winter snowflakes dance through the air like a million tiny ballet dancers. It’s also the home to the most talented and fearless group of Gaga Ball players the world has ever known. Kids from all corners of the Granite State would converge in local schoolyards, parks, and backyards to participate in the noble and ancient sport of Gaga Ball. With their eyes gleaming with determination and sneakers squeaking in anticipation, they would huddle around the Gaga Ball pit, waiting for the game to commence. One of these courageous warriors goes by the name of Binky McFidget. With his freckle-speckled face, flaming red hair, and a passion for Gaga Ball that rivals his love for maple syrup, Binky is the unofficial leader of the New Hampshire Gaga Ball gang. He could dodge a ball quicker than a squirrel on a sugar rush and hit a ball harder than a moose in a bad mood. Under Binky's guidance, the New Hampshire kids became a formidable force in the world of Gaga Ball, making their state proud. Even on the coldest of winter days, when the snow piled high and the winds howled, you could find Binky and his gang, bundled up in their thickest parkas and woolliest mittens, laughing and dodging snowballs in the frosty Gaga pit. For in New Hampshire, Gaga Ball is more than just a game, it’s a way of life. And for Binky and his friends, there was nothing more exciting, or funnier than their epic Gaga Ball matches.

Whether through summer camps or retreats, our goal remains the same: to expose people to Christ and encourage their spiritual growth through His Word and by reflecting His character in everything we do. While we provide top-notch recreation and exciting programming, the heart of our camp is the spiritual impact, rooted in the truth of God’s inerrant Word.
