Summer Camps

2026 Youth Camp
REGISTRATION OPENS AT 12pm on January 15!
​
​Camp Perkins is a place of action that teaches kids that they CAN. Camp gets kids outside where they play and experience teamwork and develop who they are in Christ. And camp is REAL...no filter or hashtags needed!

Daily activities include boating, archery, Bible studies, crafts, music and skits, hiking or biking (age appropriate), outdoor games, and water play. For an additional fee, you can add either a horseback ride or a rafting trip for your camper on one day. Specialty camps offer campers a more in depth experience in an area of interest like backpacking and hiking, art, fly fishing, sailing, or guitar. The schedule below will give you more information about the different camps available.
​

Sailing Camp| Grades 5-12 | ​+$75

Fiber Arts | Grades 7-9 | +$50
​​(Limited to 8 campers)
Fiber art uses textiles such as fabric, yarn, natural fibers (including wool), and synthetic fibers. It can include quilting, weaving, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, felting, braiding, spinning, and more. 
This camp is an introduction to both traditional and modern fiber arts techniques. Possible projects include felted artwork of Camp Perkins (like painting with fiber), felting a scarf, repurposing wool sweaters into mittens or a bag,  introduction to crocheting or loom knit for a prayer shawl, or needle felting critters. Supplies are included for projects. Each camper will receive a fiber arts kit to continue exploring and creating beyond camp. 

Guitar Camp 
| Grades 7-9 | ​+$50
​​(Limited to 7 campers)
This is perfect for beginners who have never played or for kids who have a little bit of experience playing guitar. Campers will learn the basics of how to play a camp worship song. Campers will learn basic strumming, finger placement to form chords, how to read a chord graph and a basic song sheet with lyrics and chords. Campers will also be making their own leather guitar strap while they give their fingers a rest between working on those guitar chords. If you have a guitar, bring it along. If you don’t have a guitar, we will have one you can use while you are at camp.
