COVID-19 Response
There is so much in life that is uncertain right now but Medeba is planning to run a "normal" Summer Camp in 2021 and will be working hard to make it a reality. We don't know what is going to happen in between now and the summer, but we know that Medeba will be offering a Summer Camp Program!
Register early to secure your spot! For the upcoming summer, we are only asking for a small deposit to secure your space. (The remainder will be due prior to arrival at camp.)
This deposit is fully refundable in the event we can't run overnight camp.
If we can't run overnight camp, then we will run Day Camp, Cottage Rentals and another season of the successful Medeba-in-a-box which is our custom made box sent directly to your child to bring camp to their homes! We plan on making this decision by May 1st.
We know that this has been a difficult time and that your children need to get out and connect with their peers. This is what we can offer and we are excited for what is in store in 2021!

Insider Reviews & Perspectives
The Our Kids review of Medeba Summer Camp
Medeba was founded in 1952 in order to provide a traditional camp experience, one where campers can enter a community of peers who share an engagement within the Christian faith, fostering spiritual growth. The programs are based in the traditions of camping, though have been updated over the years, including the development of rock climbing and mountain biking programs. Additional sessions to the summer camp extend the programming into the shoulder seasons; attention has also been given to the various age groups, with clear, sound programs developed for the various ages and stages. The focus of the camp is on inclusion and personal development, and all the activities have been carefully added and maintained in order to further those core goals

Adventure Learning allows change in students' lives to occur naturally.

High Quality Adventure Experiences
Medeba has a long history of providing high quality adventure experiences that empower individuals and groups to explore personal transformation and a down-to-earth christian spirituality. They were one of the first Christian camps to do this and you can count on both their seasoned staff and their new leaders (Prosago) to operate with integrity and passion.
