Christian summer camps

What are Christian camps?

Christian summer camps, like Christian schools, allow your child to learn more about their faith and interact with fellow Christian boys and girls in an ideal environment that allows for exploration and strengthening their bond with God. Sometimes called church camps or Bible camps, although these designations may not be synonymous. For example, Christian camps may be non-denominational, while a church camp may in fact be associated with a specific church.

Why attend a Christian camp?

Sending your son or daughter to this type of camp ensures that they’re practicing structure and discipline while enjoying a traditional experience in nature with other children who share the same beliefs.

Find the right Christian camp for your child

Choosing the right camp starts with assessing your child’s needs and interests, then searching for a camp that fulfills your family’s overall beliefs and interests as well. Additionally, you may want to think about whether you prefer a camp close to home and what kinds of activities your child or teen would enjoy most during their stay.

Additional questions to consider asking may include:

• What is the camp's overall philosophy and how does it promote Christian values?
• What religious services or activities are offered?
• How is religion integrated into camp life?
• What qualifications do the staff have?
• Do camp counsellors have any religious training?
• What is the camper-to-staff ratio?

Narrow down your choices with criteria that are most important to your family and contact the camps directly with any specific questions or concerns, or to attend an information session or book a visit.
