What makes Camp Perkins so different? 

Our world is full of distractions and busyness. It is almost impossible to find space to unplug. Many of us worry about how much time we spend looking at screens. Our kids are often overscheduled and don’t have the opportunity to develop independence or spend enough time outdoors. It’s hard to find time in our days to connect deeply with family and friends. Community has become something we all desire but is increasingly hard to find.

Camp Perkins was founded in 1954 to help people experience God’s wild creation, cultivate friendships and carve out space for God to work in their lives. As the world has become more complex, Camp Perkins has stayed almost unchanged. Without distractions, campers learn to be present and experience the journey God has planned for their life. Through outdoor challenges, creative programming, and excellent care the Camp Perkins team helps break down walls and supports campers as they develop confidence in who they are uniquely created to be.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s busyness and looking to truly disconnect?
Do you dream of a place where you can deepen your relationship with God and others?
Do you find yourself wishing you and your family spent more time enjoying God’s creation?

Camp Perkins provides more than an amazing camp experience. It’s a place unlike any other where campers can completely disconnect from the outside world and look inside to discover who God created them to be. Campers leave with new found independence, confidence in their identity, and a deepened connection to God.
