Summer Camps
Camp Affordability
We want every child to be able to attend camp and experience the activities and spiritual growth camp offers. If you need options on how to afford camp reach out. We’re here to help! Learn More.
Activities
Every camp includes outdoor activities, games, swimming, waterfront (kayaks, canoes, paddle boards), archery, age-appropriate Bible study/devotions, small group time, unstructured time for rest, music and worship, crafts, and more. Parents appreciate how camp builds resilience, independence and fosters personal growth. Campers come back each year because amongst the fun and friends, they are empowered by God’s love to be their best selves.

Camps
Grace Outside invites you to step outside your day-to-day routine and grow into your best self. You’ll be surrounded by friends and counselors who offer support, love and encouragement as you try new things, discover new skills, learn about God’s grace, and create your best summer memories.
Grace Outside uses United Methodist curriculum that is biblically-based and energizes campers and staff alike on their discipleship journey.
Campers learn a different way of doing life — a grace-filled way based on the unexpected things Jesus taught, including how to be a friend, how to encourage others and how to love ourselves. Campers gain confidence as a child of God, and grow in a safe community where everyone feels welcome and loved.
All campers are welcome regardless of their religious affiliation if any. Summer Camp learnings also supplement and enrich the faith formation that happens at church and in the home. The stresses of life felt at every age level make it more important than ever to spend time away in Christian community. Campers fully engage with the Bible stories and learnings of our faith through interactive and age-appropriate conversations. They immerse themselves in living as followers of Christ.
Personal Growth
Through fun and adventure, camp helps young people grow in self confidence, social skills, leadership, appreciation and regard for others.
Community Building
Summer camp creates an intentional community based on Christian hospitality — welcoming and loving everyone where they are.
Spiritual Foundation
Campers grow closer to God and walk their own faith journey through Christian teaching and role models, the awe of connecting with nature, and living in community.
Camp Scholarships
Affordability should never be a barrier to attending camp. If you need financial help, contact your local church. Additional funds may be available from Grace Outside, contact the registrar at the site you want to attend.
