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.

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.

Event Details
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 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 have never been around horses before and want a good “first experience”.
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.

Due to the shortened time for this camp, self-riding may not be offered, and instead, a “pony ride” experience may be substituted. This is all determined the week of and we cannot guarantee each camper will get to ride, only that every opportunity will be offered.

*This event will run in coordination with a k-2 Express Camp. In order to provide the best experience possible for each age group, two directing teams will be on site, with one focused on k-2 and another focused on 3-6. Activities/worship/teaching will be separated by age groups. Cabins will also be divided by age group to provide best possible camper care.*
Camp Lakewood’s Express Camp provides a classic camp experience on a shortened timeline. This exciting week provides exciting features including a zip line, lake swimming, and more for campers! Throughout the week 3-6 campers will get teaching, devotional time, worship time, and more at a developmentally appropriate level for their ages 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 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.

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.
