During the summer, kids of all ages flock to Pine Lake to enjoy the outdoors, build friendships and most importantly, grow closer to God. Our objective is to provide a Christ-centered rustic, comfortable, exciting, and challenging camp experience.

We offer age appropriate week-long camps, supervised by trained college-age staff. Cabins accomodate 8-10 campers in dormitory style housing, some with private bathrooms, others with a detached bathouse.

Recreational activities include a large swimming pool (supervised by Red Cross certified life guards), basketball and volley ball courts, archery, canoes and paddles boats, high and low ropes courses and a large open field for large group games.
