What is Family Camp? Family camp is unlike any camp you've ever experienced. Instead of sending the kids away for a week why doesn't the whole family join in
Family camp is unlike any camp you’ve ever experienced. Instead of sending the kids away for a week why doesn’t the whole family join in on the fun? Taking up only a weekend this camp is full of activities for any age and helps to develop family bonding through strengthening the family’s relationship to God. Worship and devotions are a critical part of the week that include sessions specifically for adults and kids.
We believe that the family is stronger when everyone has a strong relationship with the Lord and so we hope to strengthen and develop that relationship, and in turn, the families who visit us. Each day has a whole camp worship experience and each family is given devotional materials to complete together. The goal is that each person is able to have a little fun while also growing closer to God.
Located in rural Indiana away from the hustle and bustle of busy life, the Family Camp experience will engage the whole family in finding awe and wonder in God’s creation. With over 300+ acres of wooded forest to explore, experiencing creation is one of the main joys of our families who visit. Nature coupled with a fun family, teen-only, and adult-only times allows for the whole family to grow closer together while also growing closer to God.

Camp Lakewood's Mini Camp provides a classic camp experience, perfectly fit for the youngest students. Adventures including: boat rides, zip lines, and a bouldering wall give excitement to each day.
Camp Lakewood’s Mini Camp provides a classic camp experience, perfectly fit for the youngest students. Adventures including: boat rides, zip lines, and a bouldering wall give excitement to each day. Most importantly, an emphasis on spiritual development through hearing about God’s love, devotional time in their cabin, and evening worship gives each young camper a fresh look into what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
Beach Swimming|Twin Eagle Zip Line|Bouldering Wall|Boat Ride|Time in Nature|Maker Creative Spaces|Evening Extravaganza|Star Gazing and Night Hike Cabin Cookout|Twice Daily Small Group Times|Curriculum Theme “Treasure”
Here at Camp Lakewood, we teach and explore God’s love in every moment. In 2021 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.
Our June 6-8 director team is hosted by Covenant UMC and Lifehouse Church with Marlene Fenstermacher, Amy Becker, Anita Eggleston, Angie McClurg and Pastor Ted Jansen. These four bring a powerful dynamic of love and instruction perfectly fit for even the youngest of campers!

Camp Lakewood’s High School Leadership Camp recognizes 3 key things. 1. High School students are busy and many cannot give up a week of their summer. 2. High School students are stressed and desire personal connection. 3. High School students are ready to meet the Lord in a simple location, surrounded by peers, focused on making an internal change which will result in a positive impact on the world. Camp Lakewood’s first ever High School retreat is a response to those 3 needs and will be a highlight event of any student’s summer!

Epworth Forest’s Middle School Impact Camps for 2021 provide a classic camp experience, featuring action-packed adventures including: swimming, paintball, “Sky High” our giant swing, kayaking, “The Park” and more. Most importantly, there is a deep focus on Christ through an amazing spiritual program including small groups, modern worship and opportunities to ask the tough questions about God.
At camp this summer, as always, we teach and explore the gospel with students through worship, stories, small group discussions, and feature activities. Each week has a different speaker and spiritual director to lead the students to a real and intimate relationship with our Savior.
Praise can be expressed in many different ways, therefore, we like to help campers become inspired by the Holy Spirit’s movement during different worship times throughout the week. Each week brings a new worship team to lead students to give their all to our Creator. Operating camp during this usual season is giving us an exciting opportunity to have new worship experiences in settings like our outdoor stage. Don’t worry, the bands will still be here and our sound system will make sure our worship will be heard all over camp.
Campers also have the opportunity to worship in quiet nature spaces along the waterfront or under the trees, meeting in small groups, navigating through the Bible, and encouraging one another through activities.

Express camp offers all the same fun and activities as any camp but in a shorter time frame! Instead of a traditional 5 night stay, we shorten the time to only 3 nights! Campers from Kindergarten to 6th grade gather at Pine Creek for an intensive church camp week. Focus is given to learning who God is and what believing in God means. This shorter week is perfect for busy families who may not have time for the traditional camp experience, but still want their camper to have some quality time at camp. This week also is excellent for fire-time campers or young campers who may be a little intimidated being away from Mom and Dad for so long.
As our campers grow we want to keep engaging them in new and exciting ways. During this week of camp, children will participate in fun worship times with games and activities. Not only that but they will learn about the love God has for them and how they can spread that love outside of camp. The goal of this week is to have campers learn how God works around them and how to identify God in their day-to-day life.
Campers at Express Camp will get age-appropriate activities and a schedule that works for them. Cabin groups will spend quality time together growing and having fun but also get to engage with the whole camp group multiple times throughout the day. Each time spent in worship with be engaging and fun and provide life-changing messages centered on God and the life of Christ. The camp week will involve a mixture of high-paced activity and down-time to relax and enjoy the beautiful woods that surround the camp, campers may even get to see some wildlife if they are lucky!
