Summer Camps

Overnight Camps

Grace Outside invites you to step outside your day-to-day routine and grow into your best self. At summer camp 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. Overnight camp opportunities for high school, middle school and elementary students, plus Grand Camp for grandparents and their grandchildren!

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.

New Campers

Once you come to camp, we are convinced you’ll want to come back and share the experience with others. First-time campers can get up to a $50 rebate and returning campers who invite a new camper also can earn up to a $50 rebate.

Camp Affordability

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.
