Event Details
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 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.
Clear Gospel Message
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.
Experience
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.
Amenities
High Ropes | Pool | Teen-only Activities | Parent-only Time | Hiking | Fireside Worship | Family Dinners | Cookouts | Field Games | Low Ropes | Cabin Time
Outcomes
- Family camp gives your family the opportunity to create new memories focused on togetherness.
- The experience will help you to strengthen relationships with each other as you draw together while also growing closer to God.
- Ability to get away from the commotion of everyday life and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation with other families.
COVID Precautions
With COVID impacting everything this season, Pine Creek will be taking a special interest in protecting our campers. Check-in and Check-out will be a low contact, drive-thru style. Disinfecting program materials and shared spaces will be standard practice. Family camp will refocus on the family unit without losing any of the connection or fun!

Event Details
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!
Experiences
Beach Swimming|Beach Volleyball|Mammoth Swing|Tubing on a Brand New Boat|Group and Individual Devotional Time|Time to Slow Down and Reflect|Star Gazing and Night Hike|Morning Teaching/Small Group Time|Evening Worship at Campfire/Devotions|Curriculum Theme “Treasure”
Clear Gospel Message
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.
Outcomes
Restored Soul/Energy|New Friends|Strengthened Relationships|An intimate understanding of Jesus|Lifetime of memories

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.
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. 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.

Event Details
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.

Clear Gospel Message
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.

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.

What is Horse Camp?
Horse Camp runs alongside our traditional weeks of camp but re-imagines what camp can be. Horse campers stay in cabins and interact with the rest of the camp, but this smaller group spends their rotation time at the barn learning animal husbandry and basic riding skills. Campers should expect to spend most of their time at the barn working with horses and learning about the marvels of God’s creation. Our Horse Barn Manager has years of experience with riding and showing horses and brings her passion with her during these horse camp weeks. This is a great camp for those who have a special passion or interest in horses. This is also a great camp for those who may have a small amount of experience with horses they wish to develop further or those who attended a horse camp with us previously.
The Gospel Message
Horses are just one of many of God’s beautiful creations. They teach confidence, flexibility, loyalty, and honesty. Spending a week with horses will allow for your camper to see not only God’s creation, but also allow for campers to experience love in a brand new way. Our Barn Manager works to make scripture parallel the care for, and riding of horses. Our goal is for you to master the basics of both riding, and being a Christian! Come to Pine Creek and develop your camper’s sense of self, develop trust and identity in Christ.
Experience
Horse Anatomy | Horse tack & Equipment | Barn & Horse Safety | Horse Grooming | Horse Care | Leading | Horse Behavior | Developing how to walk, trot & steer a horse | Cabin Time | Camp Cookout | Devotions | Camp Worship
*Riding times are dependent upon horse temperament & instructor’s confidence in camper ability. We do not guarantee ride time or how advanced the riding skills taught will be. This is determined based on the skill level of all the campers in attendance. We do guarantee each camper will ride at least once and every opportunity will be taken to ride during the week.
COVID Precautions
With COVID impacting everything this season, Pine Creek will be taking a special interest in protecting our campers. Check-in and Check-out will be a low contact, drive-thru style. Disinfecting program materials and shared spaces will be standard practice. The camp week will also re-focus on the cabin groups, without losing any of the connection and fun you expect any other year.

What is Middle School Camp?
Glad you asked! Middle school camp is a week-long, overnight camp designed for 6th – 8th graders. Experienced, long-term directors lead the charge during this week and offer a well rounded and fun week of camp. Middle School Camp allows for young teens and preteens to gather and learn about how they play a part in the body of Christ while getting to have some fun along the way.
Clear Gospel Message
As your child goes through the camp week they develop skills and knowledge that enable them to grow deeper in their faith and to start making commitments to Christ. Through experience and worship, campers find and build their relationship with God. This year’s theme is over “Treasure” and how we find such examples in scripture. Most importantly we learn how God treasure’s us and the world we live in.
Experience
Middle School Camp offers a multitude of fun activities for campers to engage in each day. Many of our campers comment that the beauty of Pine Creek is in nature and rightly so, we have over 300 acres for cabin groups to explore! Campers will be challenged physically and spiritually to grow into the person they are called to be. Each camper is placed in a cabin that they worship and fellowship with, while also being provided time to interact with everyone in the camp. This week also has a few middle-school only activities such as the Zipline, and Redneck Paintball! Campers are sure to have a memorable experience learning and growing in their relationship with God.
Amenities
Goliath Swing | Jacob’s Ladder | Zipline | Pool Time | Cabin Time | Crafts | Campfire Worship | Cookouts | Redneck Paintball | Late Night Games | Prayer Stations etc.
Outcomes
- Students will focus in on discovering how to spend time alone with God and grow through their own digging into scripture, listening through prayer, and in seeking Him first.
- As always, exciting adventures, friendships, worship times, and activities will make this a memorable week of their life for years to come
COVID Precautions
With COVID impacting everything this season, Pine Creek will be taking a special interest in protecting our campers. Check-in and Check-out will be a low contact, drive-thru style. Disinfecting program materials and shared spaces will be standard practice. The camp week will also re-focus on the cabin groups, without losing any of the connection and fun you expect any other year.

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.
Clear Gospel Message
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.
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. 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.

Event Details
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.

Clear Gospel Message
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.
ILT Director
The ILT Program will be led by veteran Impact staff member Vanessa Darley. Vanessa is an energetic leader with a powerful devotion to Jesus Christ, and a passion for camp and young leaders. While not at camp, Vanessa is a communications major at Ball State University, and loves photography, yoga, and shopping with friends!
