Summer Camps
SUMMER CAMP BEGINS IN
Base Camp
Join us at Camp Agapé for our brand new on-site day camp program: BASE CAMP! This program is the perfect way for your 2nd to 5th grader to experience a full week of camp for the first time, without having to worry about staying overnight. They’ll enjoy the best of what we have to offer: music, games, crafts, nature, swim time, and caring counselors who help them grow, make friends, and explore their faith in new ways each day. We can’t wait!
Overnight Camps
Overnight camp is all about having fun in small groups, with each cabin having 6 to 8 campers and a counselor. Campers can expect a day full of cool activities that fit their age, like swimming, hiking, checking out nature, singing, telling stories, doing skits, hanging out by the campfire, and even some worship time. There's also a chance to try new things, get crafty, hit the archery range, paddle around in a canoe, play some games or GaGa Ball, and maybe even sleep under the stars. The best part? Campers get to chill with a fantastic counselor and soak up God's love in this awesome spot.

Dates & Rates
Campership Assistance
Financial concerns are never a good reason for denying a child the opportunity to experience the Spirit of God, in a unique place apart, under the careful supervision of a committed Christian young adult (counselor). It is our policy that no camper be turned away from a camp experience due to the lack of financial means. The David L. Castor Campership Fund exists to help make camp affordable.
To request campership assistance, complete the Campership Form found in your registration portal. We will do what we can to make sure everyone can attend a week of camp.
