LW • Family Camp

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 CIT Director, this small group of 7th-12th 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.  

Experiences

Pool | Bouldering Wall | Team Building Low Ropes | Free Play Zone | Time in Nature | Cabin Sleeping | Cabin Cookouts | Morning Watch | Evening Vespers | Themed Days | Group Games | Family Style Meals | Crafts

Clear Gospel Message

At Camp Rivervale, we teach and explore God’s love in every moment, emphasizing the power and love of Jesus Christ above all else. CIT 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 CIT 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.

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.
