That Thing at Epworth Forest is a summer conference camp for high school students to come together in pursuit of Christ being lived out in their communities. There’s a ton of fun here but more importantly, this camp is about sending students out to put love and action into the root of their daily lives back at home.
Hundreds of students will be on site each week from ninth grade through graduating seniors. Students get some supervised free time to explore recreation areas in groups, choose from different Creative Labs, grab snack at the Beach House, and relax in their lodge common rooms.
At the core of That Thing is a passion for creating expressive and interactive worship spaces that draw on multiple learning styles to help students engage with the gospel and finding their own rhythm and connection with God. Bands and speakers spend time connecting with students throughout the day as well as on stage. Counselors and leaders help students through small group discussions in meeting new friends and unpacking the experiences of the week.
Registration will open Tuesday May 12, 2020

COVID-19 2020 Action & Operation Plan View Now... A personal growth program designed for teenagers who desire to be in leadership positions
A personal growth program designed for teenagers who desire to be in leadership positions within their community now or in the future. Under the supervision of our ILT Director, this small group of 7th-9th graders will explore what it means to be a Christian leader. They’ll dig into leadership characteristics (like integrity, planning, organization, accountability, problem solving), and discover how these can be used both in the camp setting and their home communities. Each day they’ll have the opportunity to put into action what they’re learning through serving alongside camp counselors and staff to lead elementary campers in activities.
Developing Leadership Skills|Leading and Serving Campers|Beach Swimming|Mammoth Swing|Low Ropes Course|Star Gazing and Night Hike|Campfire Cookout|Evening Worship at Campfire|Devotions
At Camp Lakewood, we teach and explore God’s love in every moment, emphasizing the power and love of Jesus Christ above all else. ILT campers will spend significant time exploring how God wants to use them personally as a leader. They’ll work alongside Christian camp leaders to see an example of what Christian leadership looks like. By the end of the week each ILT camper will have a plan to use their leadership skills to impact their home community. We believe that campers will not only have a good time at camp but have their lives transformed forever. Our prayer is that each camper who leaves Lakewood will be transformed by the grace of God, on mission to fulfill our call to live a life of love full of the fruits of the spirit.
Strengthened Leadership Skills|Strengthened Interpersonal Skills|An intimate understanding of Jesus|Lifetime of memories|New Friends
The ILT Program will be led by veteran Lakewood staff member Grace Stewart. Grace is an energetic leader with a powerful devotion to Jesus Christ, and a passion for camp and young leaders.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, Impact2818 has decided to condense and consolidate our summer schedules. In doing so only three campsites will operate programming (Epworth, Lakewood, and Rivervale) and Pine Creek will not be running any programming for the upcoming summer. With this mitigation we are recommending elementary campers move to join Lakewood’s elementary camp (July 5-10). For families who wish to transfer registrations to another site or cancel their registration, check this page here to view our policy regarding doing so. While not ideal we thank you for your understanding and look forward to having you back at Pine Creek in 2021!
Glad you asked! Elementary Camp is a traditional Christ centered overnight camping experience for elementary students grades 3rd – 6th. Since Pine Creek will not be hosting this event, please jump over to Camp Lakewood’s event here to see what to expect during your camp week.

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.

Here at Camp Lakewood, we teach and explore God’s love in every moment. In 2020 we are continuing to emphasize the power and love of Jesus Christ above all else. As each week dives into the theme, “Treasure,” campers will have the chance to learn about the Kingdom of God and the treasures within it. Ultimately, our hope is that campers see the Bible as one unified story telling about the greatest Treasure of all, Jesus Christ. Exploring Creation, Hope, Jesus, Jesus’ Sacrifice for us, and our response to that we believe that campers will not only have a good time at camp but have their lives transformed forever. Campers will explore these ideas and more through rich teaching from strong spiritual leaders, in small group devotional times with their cabins, in small group times with staff members and at evening worship at Vesper Hill. Our prayer is that each camper who leaves Lakewood will be transformed by the grace of God, on mission to fulfill our call to live a life of love full of the fruits of the spirit.
