Camp Lakewood’s Impact Camp provides a classic camp experience, with exciting features including a mammoth swing, zip line, tubing, and more! Through these experiences and time in Cabin Groups, campers will make new friends, strengthen old bonds, and grow in interpersonal skills. Most importantly, an emphasis on spiritual development through hearing about God’s love, devotional time in their cabin, and evening worship gives each camper a fresh look into what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

This is a fantastic opportunity for alumni to return to a special place… to breath the fresh air… to feel the warmth of the campfire… to gaze up at starry skies… to swim in the soothing waters fo the lake. But beyond the obvious allure, Alumni Camp is also a chance to bring to life once again, if even for a moment, those incredible feelings of childhood associated with cherished memories of being at camp.  Yet camp is more than just a memory!  The spirit of camp extends beyond the boundaries of any one summer… spanning generations of caring alumni who ‘remember the times’ they had here. Alumni Camp for adults 18 and over who were previous campers, parents, volunteers, counselors, staff, or anyone who think camp is a blast!
