Welcome to Summer Camp and Retreat Central!
Springs of Life Camp has been a destination for local churches for well over 50 years. While most would think that our ministry closed down because of Covid-19, it was in the months leading up to 2020 that the Lord was already queuing us up for the largest restoration project the property has ever seen!
Since then, not only have the facilities undergone incredible changes, but the organization along with the passion for what we do has been revitalized with a newness that acutely portrays the intentionality of a follower of Jesus Christ and the grace that He shows ALL of us.
Soft-Launch Summer Camp 2024!
Was a HUGE success!!
The Springs of Life Camp Programing Experience
Springs of Life Camp is uniquely set apart from other camping ministries in that we aim to serve alongside fellowships of local churches and organizations.
With our on-site ministry staff, each week of Summer Camp is facilitated by a different group to provide the best possible discipleship experience for the families they intentionally pursue.
Keep scrolling for this years Summer Camp line-up and openings. If you are interested in joining a week (new campers or ministry service teams), or a vacant week for your own group, please Contact Us!
Student Dormitory
With 8 Dorm rooms across 2 wings, this year we will be able to open up the TOP floor (2025 we will double our capacity). This year we can house up to 96 campers and counselors while keeping the boys and girls separated by the lockout storage room.
Our new bunk beds have a high weight rating, but the bottom bunk is going to be best for those over 200 pounds. Add more sleeping space with cots if necessary.
