What is Elementary Camp?

Glad you asked! Elementary Camp is a traditional Christ-centered overnight camping experience for elementary students entering 3rd – 6th grade. This week-long overnight camp brings campers from all over Indiana to spend time learning about Christ together. Campers will spend time growing together with their cabin groups and get to have some fun along the way. 

Experience

Campers will engage in cabin-focused activities throughout the week ranging from cabin devotional time to exploring the woods. Our director’s for the week work hard to make sure that worship time is both engaging and serious. Camper’s are provided opportunities to challenge themselves physically and socially, but also provided a safe space to ask questions and grow in their relationship with God. It is our goal that campers leave with the confidence that God loves them and that there is a place for them. 

Amenities

Pool Time | Jacob’s Ladder | Giant Swing | Adventure Ridge | Hiking | Worship | Cabin Time | Campfire Cookout | Crafts | Devotional Time | Field Games

Outcomes

• Through camp, we hope that every child will experience a loving and encouraging environment where they feel safe to explore Christ through scripture, questions, service, and community.
•  An enhanced focus on character, social, & friendship skill development to help children better engage in social situations & everyday moments throughout their lives.

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 Middle School Camp?

Glad you asked! Middle school camp is a week-long, overnight camp designed for kids entering 6th – 8th grade. 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 | Knife Throwing | Prayer Stations etc. 

Outcomes
