A beautiful place to rest, relax, and reconnect with family, friends, and our loving God, and a wonderful place to send your children to a Christian summer camp.

This camp is fantastic. It's where I live. I was a camper for 12 years, a staff member for three, and a volunteer whenever possible. This is where I accepted Christ into my life and where I can still feel the Holy Spirit powerfully transforming lives.
