COVID-19 2020 Action & Operation Plan

View Now…

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.  

Experiences

Developing Leadership Skills|Leading and Serving Campers|Beach Swimming|Mammoth Swing|Low Ropes Course|Star Gazing and Night Hike|Campfire Cookout|Evening Worship at Campfire|Devotions

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. 

Outcomes

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

ILT Director

The ILT Program will be led by veteran Lakewood staff member Grace Stewart.  Grace is an energetic leader with a powerful devotion to Jesus Christ, and a passion for camp and young leaders.

Camp Lakewood’s Impact Camp provides a classic camp experience, with exciting features including a mammoth swing, zip line, tubing, and more! 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.

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.

COVID-19 Response

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, Impact2818 has decided to condense and consolidate our summer schedules. In doing so only three campsites will operate programming (Epworth, Lakewood, and Rivervale) and Pine Creek will not be running any programming for the upcoming summer. With this mitigation we are recommending middle school campers move to join Camp Adventure’s middle school camp which will be hosted at Epworth CC (July 11-17). For families who wish to transfer registrations to another site or cancel their registration, check this page here to view our policy regarding doing so. While not ideal we thank you for your understanding and look forward to having you back at Pine Creek in 2021!

What is Middle School Camp?

Glad you asked! Middle school camp is a week long, overnight camp designed for 6th – 8th graders. For further details regarding Middle School camp week please check out the event here at Camp Adventure. 

Clear Gospel Message

As your child goes through the camp week they develop skills and knowledge that enables 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. 

Experience

For further details regarding this area please view the event here.

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
