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

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 “Journeying with Mark”

Clear Gospel Message

Here at Camp Lakewood, we teach and explore God’s love in every moment. In 2022 we will be Journeying with Mark! During your camper’s stay at Lakewood they will get to walk through the Gospel of Mark hearing the scriptures and stories so that they may grow in understanding God’s love for us through Jesus Christ! 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.
