Summer Camps

2023 Youth Camp Schedule and Prices

​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), games, meals, and water play. We also have specialized experiences, which include horseback riding, rafting, backpacking and hiking, art, fly fishing, or sailing. For more information on the different camps available, please look through the Summer Camp section of our site.

Special Price: $200
Youth Camp - this program is a great way to give summer camp a "test run"! Campers will stay in our one-room, bunk-style cabins with other youth their age and well-trained staff to guide them through adventures. Though just 2 nights, we'll pack the experience full of the traditional camp activities, while they meet new friends and experience Christ in creation.
