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.

Experiences

Clear Gospel Message

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. 

Outcomes

New Friends|Strengthened Interpersonal Skills|An intimate understanding of Jesus|Lifetime of memories

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.

Camp Worship

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.

Beach Waterfront | Aqua Rocker | Canoes | Swimming | Swurfer Swings | Sports Courts | GaGa Pit

For students who come from churches where leaders aren’t able to attend or there aren’t enough students to get group lodging, we’ve created intentional spaces and opportunities to come and experience That Thing. These experiences are for students (roommate request’s available) who enjoy meeting lots of new people. Everyone in the cabin will probably only know 1-3 other people. There are no concerns, everything is taken care of from the fun to worship.

That Thing’s Campus House Counselors plan development time for students to connect, get to know one another and open up throughout the week. The experience is about connecting them with each other so that as a created community they can support, encourage and challenge one another in Christ during that week.

Students in the Campus Houses get to experience everything That Thing has to offer. They still get the individual freedoms in what activites they plunge into and where they spend their time as they can pick and choose activities and experiences perfect for their likes and styles.

The Campus House is the best option for students coming to camp individually; church leaders are invited and encouraged to come be counselors, contact us for counseling info.

What is Horse Camp?

Horse camp is very similar to a traditional camp experience with meals, cabins, and worship. However, two thirds of horse camper’s activity time is spent in the Barn learning basic animal husbandry and riding skills. The nature of this camp is to give campers a normal camp experience with a focus on Horse care and riding. This camp is express style meaning it is a shorter camp time than normal. Instead of 6 days, 5 nights you only spend 4 days and 3 nights! Great for those with limited summer availability. Have all the same fun but in a shorter time span!

The Gospel Message

Horse campers get to experience one of the most beautiful creatures God created in a close and personal setting. During training, campers learn how God cares for all of his creation big and small. This along with regular camp worship times and personal devotions allows campers to grow closer to God and develop a personal relationship with Christ.

Experience

• Residential Horse Camp
• Equine Safety
• Western Riding Approach
• Barn Operations
• Horse Care
• Tack Identification
• And other camp favorites

**How much riding is experienced during this camp is subjective. Riding times varies based on number of campers, horses availability/temperament and other factors. Horse camper’s WILL ride but we do not guarantee riding each day.**

All Skill Levels Welcome

• Little to no experience with horses is needed. Introductory horse lovers will find a welcoming and encouraging space to interact with and build comfort with horses as you progress from foundation to advanced skills regardless of age. Learn the basics and get to engage with horses in a safe environment. 
• Long Time & Experienced Riders will find a great experience discovering more about horses and participating in peer leadership throughout the event as they strengthen and further develop their skills. They will get the chance to assist those younger than them in developing their skills as well as engaging during camp in a new way.

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. Lookout Lodge, which also doubles as the dining room, turns into a sacred worship space with high-tech lighting and dynamically led music.

Campers also have the opportunity to worship through exploring nature on our vast acreage, meeting in small groups, navigating through the Bible, and encouraging one another through activities like the low and high ropes courses.

Camp Lakewood’s Express Camp provides a classic camp experience on a shortened timeline. This exciting week provides exciting features including a zip line, lake swimming, and more for campers of all ages! Moreover, teaching is catered directly to the age of each camper so whether they are in kindergarten or going into 6th grade, they will get a lesson just right for them! 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.

Experiences

Clear Gospel Message

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. 

Outcomes

New Friends|Strengthened Interpersonal Skills|An intimate understanding of Jesus|Lifetime of memories

Volunteer Director Team

Our June 21-24 directing teams are split into two, so that kids of all ages are met right where they are at. The k-2 team is hosted by Hanfield UMC and Beth Fisher, Shirley Sadler and Kayla Brooks. The 3-6 team is hosted by Dayton UMC with Kent and Mindy Stader and Sarah Null. Both of these teams bring over 8 years of experience and a profound commitment to Jesus Christ.

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.

Camp Worship

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.

For students who come from churches where leaders aren’t able to attend or there aren’t enough students to get group lodging, we’ve created intentional spaces and opportunities to come and experience That Thing. These experiences are for students (roommate request’s available) who enjoy meeting lots of new people. Everyone in the cabin will probably only know 1-3 other people. There are no concerns, everything is taken care of from the fun to worship.

That Thing’s Campus House Counselors plan development time for students to connect, get to know one another and open up throughout the week. The experience is about connecting them with each other so that as a created community they can support, encourage and challenge one another in Christ during that week.

Students in the Campus Houses get to experience everything That Thing has to offer. They still get the individual freedoms in what activites they plunge into and where they spend their time as they can pick and choose activities and experiences perfect for their likes and styles.

The Campus House is the best option for students coming to camp individually; church leaders are invited and encouraged to come be counselors, contact us for counseling info.

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. Why is the Kingdom important? How does Jesus fit into the story of the Kingdom? If we believe those to be true (and we do!) what does it mean to live as a child to help bring the Kingdom to earth now? Families will answer those questions through rich teaching from Pastor Gabrielle Ginder in small group devotional times with their family, and at evening worship at Vesper Hill. Our prayer is that each person young or old 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.

Camp Adventure’s Day Camp provides experiences much like vacation bible school, but with classic camp adventures added in. It runs from 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Wednesday for one week. Day Camp features action packed adventures including swimming, blobbing, rock climbing, ziplining, slip ‘n sliding, and low ropes. Most importantly, there is a focus on Christ through a spiritual program including worship and opportunities to learn about Jesus’s love through stories and devotions.

Clear Gospel Message

We teach and explore the gospel with students through worship and stories. Each week has a different speaker and spiritual director to lead the students to a real and intimate relationship with our Savior. As part of Impact 2818, we major on the majors and minor on the minors. We keep teachings and spiritual focus simple to recognize and value the unique differences in beliefs and values of the Christian spectrum both in and out of our United Methodist denomination. Our majors include: Jesus Christ is the path to salvation, God values all people and we reflect that attitude, and as believers we are called into a lifetime of discipleship and service in the world. Every student will make a decision of some sort regarding Jesus Christ. That decision may be: an acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior, to continue seeking God’s will in their life, or to do nothing. Even choosing nothing is making a decision, and whatever students choose is okay. We cannot determine, judge, qualify, or eliminate God’s timeline. Where God harvested in one student’s spirit, God may have watered another’s and planted seeds in still another’s. It is essential to value all students and all decisions as good and part of God’s holy plans.

Camp Worship

Campers will experience a variety of worship songs throughout their week in Lookout Lodge, which doubles as the dining hall. Each day brings a new scripture focus and campers are rewarded for memorizing the verse of the day! Crafts, recreation, and feature activities are all connected to God’s love for us and His power through us enabling us to do all things through Him.

Clear Gospel Message

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.

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.

Camp Worship

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.

Recreation & Activities

Beach Waterfront | Aqua Rocker | Canoes | Swimming | Swurfer Swings | Sports Courts | GaGa Pit

The keynoter for this week is TBD

For students who come from churches where leaders aren’t able to attend or there aren’t enough students to get group lodging, we’ve created intentional spaces and opportunities to come and experience That Thing. These experiences are for students (roommate request’s available) who enjoy meeting lots of new people. Everyone in the cabin will probably only know 1-3 other people. There are no concerns, everything is taken care of from the fun to worship.

That Thing’s Campus House Counselors plan development time for students to connect, get to know one another and open up throughout the week. The experience is about connecting them with each other so that as a created community they can support, encourage and challenge one another in Christ during that week.

Students in the Campus Houses get to experience everything That Thing has to offer. They still get the individual freedoms in what activites they plunge into and where they spend their time as they can pick and choose activities and experiences perfect for their likes and styles.

The Campus House is the best option for students coming to camp individually; church leaders are invited and encouraged to come be counselors, contact us for counseling info.

What is Elementary Camp?

Glad you asked! Elementary Camp is a traditional Christ centered overnight camping experience for elementary students grades 3rd – 6th. Campers will enjoy everything good about being outside, like campfires, to fun activities you can only get at camp, like giant swing! Coupled with devotion times and worship this week of camp helps Elementary students learn about God while having fun!

The Gospel Message

While having a ton of fun doing things like the rock wall, campers will engage with God through every activity. Before each event they will reflect on a Bible story paired with that event. (ie. Goliath Swing – David fought off his fear of Goliath and was triumphant) Not only this but each day offers times of worship and devotions that will engage each camper with God and allow them to discover something new about Him. 

Experience

• Giant Swing
• Rock Wall
• Pool – Swimming
• Rec Zone
• Camp Cookouts
• Nature and Wilderness

Outcomes

• Through camp, we hope that every child will experience a loving and encouraging environment where they feel safe to explore Christ through scripture, questions, service, and community.
•  An enhanced focus on character, social, & friendship skill development to help children better engage in social situations & everyday moments throughout their lives.
• This year we renovated our pool and hope to bring a better, and cooler, break to camper’s daily through fun water games!
• This year we will continue to enhance the schedule so that camper, and our volunteers, are able to make the most out of their day to reflect and be in prayer with God.

What is Horse Camp?

Horse camp is very similar to a traditional camp experience with meals, cabins, and worship. However, two thirds of horse camper’s activity time is spent in the Barn learning basic animal husbandry and riding skills. The other 1/3 is dedicated to other activities around camp, like the pool! The nature of this camp is to give campers a normal camp experience with a focus on Horse care and riding. Basically, have all the same fun but with horses too!

The Gospel Message

Horse campers get to experience one of the most beautiful creatures God created in a close and personal setting. During training, campers learn how God cares for all of his creation big and small. This along with regular camp worship times, devotional activities, and engaging with fellow campers allows our Horse campers a unique opportunity to engage with God and learn more about Him.

Experience

• Residential Horse Camp 
• Equine Safety 
• Western Riding Approach
• Barn Operations
• Horse Care
• Tack Identification 

**How much riding is experienced during this camp is subjective. Riding times varies based on number of campers, horses availability/temperament and other factors. Horse camper’s WILL ride but we do not guarantee riding each day.**

All Skill Levels Welcome

• Little to no experience with horses is needed. Introductory horse lovers will find a welcoming and encouraging space to interact with and build comfort with horses as you progress from foundation to advanced skills regardless of age. Learn the basics and get to engage with horses in a safe environment. 
• Long Time & Experienced Riders will find a great experience discovering more about horses and participating in peer leadership throughout the event as they strengthen and further develop their skills. They will get the chance to assist those younger than them in developing their skills as well as engaging during camp in a new way.
• Horses will be provided. Let your horse enjoy a small vacation staying at home this week while you get to discover a new relationship with a new equine friend at camp. Just make sure to check the packing list so you don’t forget any gear you may need!
• This camp varies week to week based on the type of camper’s who sign up. Skill levels per week will vary from experienced to beginner. Our leader’s will gear each weeks activities based off the skill level of the camper’s. Our camp’s tend to be best for beginner to intermediate level’s of horse riding. We do not do trail rides at this time and all riding takes place in our arena. For further questions about your week of camp feel free to email or call us!
