Camp Adventure’s Impact Camps provide a classic camp experience, featuring action-packed adventures including: swimming, blobbing, paintball, low ropes, and high ropes. 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.
Clear Gospel Message
At Camp Adventure, 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. In Summer 2019, our curriculum is focused on knowing and being known by God with an even greater emphasis on teaching campers practical skills on how to continue that pursuit when they leave camp.
Camp Worship
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.

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
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.
- 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.

Event Details
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
Keynote Speaker
The keynoter for this week is:
- Matt Boyle – Matt Boyle has been a pastor and Bible teacher for 13 years. He has been a Youth Pastor, Teaching Pastor, and Senior Pastor. One of Matt’s favorite things in the world is to study the Scriptures and creatively put together a sermon for whoever will listen. His podcast, What’s True For Everybody, explores the beautiful truths of Jesus and the Bible in a way that’s true for everybody. Some of his other favorite things are watching the Chicago Cubs, playing outside, and eating tacos. Matt has been married to his bride, Corrie, for 12 years. They have a seven-year-old daugher named Nyleigha (Ny-lee-a) and a five-year-old son named Parker. The Boyle family lives in Fort Collins, CO. This will be Matt’s fourth summer teaching at That Thing.
Worship Band
The worship band for this week is:
- Modern Day Cure – Modern Day Cure is a worship band led by Aaron and Tamar Chipp. Based in Nashville, TN the married-duo’s heart is to exalt Jesus, share His truth, and see people changed by His power. Their name is inspired by Hebrews 13:8, which states, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” This truth makes Him the modern day cure. They believe Jesus is the answer the world needs today.

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.

Camp Adventure’s Day Camp provides experiences much like vacation bible school, but with classic camp adventures added in. It runs from 8:30am-5pm 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, 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.

How is Horse Camp Different?
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. Have all the same fun but with horses too!
Clear 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 big events like Station night, 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
- Along with Traditional Camp activities
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.
- 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.

Event Details
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
Keynote Speaker
The keynoter for this week is:
- Ricky Ortiz – Pastor Ricky Ortiz lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan along with his wife, Krista, and daughter, Gia. He’s the founding and lead pastor of Meta Church [metachurch.cc], a brand new church plant in the heart of New York City. He’s passionate about communicating God’s Word with relevance and authenticity so people can connect with who God is and the purpose He has for their lives.
Worship Band
The worship band for this week is:
- Modern Day Cure – Modern Day Cure is a worship band led by Aaron and Tamar Chipp. Based in Nashville, TN the married-duo’s heart is to exalt Jesus, share His truth, and see people changed by His power. Their name is inspired by Hebrews 13:8, which states, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” This truth makes Him the modern day cure. They believe Jesus is the answer the world needs today.

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.

Clear Gospel Message
At Camp Adventure, 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. In Summer 2019, our curriculum is focused on knowing and being known by God with an even greater emphasis on teaching campers practical skills on how to continue that pursuit when they leave camp.
Camp Worship
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.

What is Elementary Camp?
Glad you asked! Elementary Camp is a traditional Christ centered overnight camping experience for elementary students grades 3rd – 5th. 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.

- Giant Swing
- Rock Wall
- Pool – Swimming
- Rec Zone
- Camp Cookouts
- Archery
- 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.
- New in 2019 is an enhanced focus on character, social, & friendship skill development to help children better engage in social situations & everyday moments throughout their lives.
- The new schedule will provide more openness and creativity for campers and counselors to explore play and skill development through enhanced crass

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!
