ABOUT
Our mission and vision is to be a camp dedicated to seeing lives changed. Everything we do is focused on life change. Our hope is for young people to come experience Jesus in a fresh way. From our food to activities to worship times, we want to serve you, so you can focus on your group and ministry. We want to partner alongside of you to take the pressure off what it takes to plan and execute a trip with us by running activities, serving meals, and facilitating your sessions.
We are family owned and operated since 2004 and our goal will always be to provide a safe, distraction free environment for you and your group to be inspired by Jesus, experience life change, and leave here ready to live out that change in your everyday moments.
