2025 Summer Church Camp Information
Church Camp is important! It provides a place for children to grow in their faith, to build friendships, and to grow closer with God away from their homes. Children and youth need space to have fun, ask questions, develop their personalities, and to experience life and faith. And yes, that means away from their parents!
