What is church camp like? For us, it is a blend of play, prayer, study, worship, and service that creates an intentional Christian community that we call church camp. Hold a date on your calendar for next summer.
The Comm for Children, Youth, & Young Adults is excited to announce the dates and sites for our church camp program. As campers grow up in the program the camp experience gets a little longer and each site offers different opportunities. The sites that host our church camp program provide activities and space that are age appropriate and can enhance the curriculum for campers and volunteer staff.
Chi Rho Camp (grades 6-8): June 5-9
Campers return to Oakridge Christian Camp (Anadarko, OK). This site offers active outdoor additions like the Goliath Zip Line, Go-Carts, and climbing walls for our junior high campers. Oakridge is a non-profit, non-denominational camp.
