Summer Camps
2025 The GRACE Way
Life is hard, but Summer Camp with GRACE OUTSIDE empowers campers to rise to the challenge. 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.

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.

If you are a returning camper who invites a new camper, you can earn up to a $50 rebate! (One discount or rebate per camper. Conditions apply. See rebate coupon.)

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.
