We were all glad to see Summer camps return last year, and we are all anxious to have our kids outdoors again this year! Here are some local options for Summer camps. Due to limited capacity, some camps may be full or waitlisted currently. We strive to provide an accurate list of all options for now or in the future. Enjoy the outdoors and play!
Camp Loucon
Various Weeks June 5 - July 29

Loucon is a Christian camp & retreat center. They desire that everyone who enters their gates would know God and experience the abundant life that Jesus came to offer! They seek to point their campers to God, reach them where they are, and help them grow in a multitude of ways! This is an environment where campers grow as individuals, in their relationships with others, and in their relationship and knowledge of Jesus! It’s also a really fun experience! Send your camper, so they can make a lifetime of memories and friendships while growing in Christ!
