Youth Camps

Summer Camp

Summer camp is a chance to explore new environments, whether it's our lake, venture valley or the activity center. You will have a unique opportunity to meet new people and make lifelong friends as you experience a wide range of outdoor activities such as swimming, high ropes course, the zip line, and more. But more than that, summer camp is always a transformative experience of personal growth.

Learn more about God, build your faith and gain confidence, resilience, and spiritual growth. Camp Calvary: Utilizing the outdoors to share the gospel and edify the believer since 1973!

Winter Weekends

Winter camps are a fantastic way to enjoy the colder months, learning new skills, and making friends. Enjoy various snow-related games and playing winter-themed sports, night hikes, or winter-themed games under the moonlight. It might be cold outside but you will enjoy or heated cabins, a roaring fire in the chapel, and winter treats like hot chocolate, cookies, or hearty soups. Just like the summer, winter camps focus on team games and challenges and team-building activities. And as always, we are only as strong outside as we are inside, so winter camps feature a variety of speakers and chapels to hone your faith, grow your walk with God and deepen your commitment to His calling. So summer or winter, we have you covered. Camp Calvary: taking the chill off since 1973!
