Christian Camps in the US and Canada
Many families believe in the importance of sending children to summercamps that support family values and Christian ethics. In order for parents and children to feel comfortable with time spent at day camps and overnight camps for kids it is often preferred if the camp has a program based on Christian principles and teachings and Bible study.
Christian Camps: Activities and Programs for Kids and Teens
Christian summer camps offer outdoor adventure, sports, arts and other programs with the added benefits of Bible study, prayer time, Christian music, and more. Christian camps allow girls and boys to participate in activities such as horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, basketball, acting, academic, mountain biking, lacrosse, computer and technology, soccer, and much more all within a Christian atmosphere.
The Benefits of Attending Christian Camps
Girls and boys can benefit from attending Christian camps, especially if they have grown up in a Christian environment. The camp staff at Christian summer camps are often trained to build close relationships with campers and to help campers grow emotionally and spiritually while engaging in exciting camp activities. Christian summer camps can also provide specialty programs not found at other summercamps such as bible camp programs, faith development activities, worship services, and outreach ministries.

The camp experience allows our youth to grow experiencing faith in their lives in a way that they respond to in a deep and lasting way. There are so many wonderful sites but one that has shaped my life has been Horton Center in NH.

If we had more opportunities like this for our youth (or just young-at-heart), I can only imagine the impact on our communities.
