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!
Theme for 2025:
The GRACE Way
Outcomes
Every camp includes outdoor fun, games, swimming, waterfront activities, crafts, devotions and age-appropriate Bible study/discussion, singing and praising God, and time to learn and grow by trying new things. Trained staff and volunteers care for you and build a welcoming community where everyone belongs.
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.
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.
Can you help?
When you give to the Camp Affordability Fund, you help campers experience the fun, joy and love of Grace Outside programs. Consider a monthly gift to support this mission year-round. Thank you!
