We fulfill this mission through:

• nonstop high-energy, safe outdoor activities
• engaging, Jesus-focused speakers
• dynamic worship

At Pine Lake Camps, we believe in being intentional, so we intentionally design our weekly programs to be age-specific. We also believe in catering to a wide audience of kids, from all different seasons and walks of life. Whether your child is 8 or 18, we want to make sure that they know they are especially loved by God, so we create each week of camp especially for each age group.
