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.

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. Why is the Kingdom important? How does Jesus fit into the story of the Kingdom? If we believe those to be true (and we do!) what does it mean to live as a child to help bring the Kingdom to earth now? Families will answer those questions through rich teaching from Pastor Gabrielle Ginder in small group devotional times with their family, and at evening worship at Vesper Hill. Our prayer is that each person young or old 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.

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.
ILT Director
The ILT Program will be led by veteran Impact staff member Vanessa Darley. Vanessa is an energetic leader with a powerful devotion to Jesus Christ, and a passion for camp and young leaders. While not at camp, Vanessa is a communications major at Ball State University, and loves photography, yoga, and shopping with friends!

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.

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.

As Camp Lakewood continues to look into the future, the importance of family continues to be recognized as a key factor for disciple making of all ages. Therefore, we are brining back Mother Child Camp! This is an incredible opportunity for mothers to connect with their children ages k-6. In addition to the abundance of fun, Pastor Tracey Zimmerman will be leading devotions for moms only, while her daughters Kourtney and Katie will be leading devotions for the kids. Corporately, groups will worship together after meals and at Vesper Hill, while also having times in cabins and throughout the day to grow spiritually together. Mothers, aunts, and grandmas will have the chance to intimately connect through exciting experiences in nature that will surely build bonds to last a lifetime.

As each week dives into the theme, “Treasure,” campers will have the chance to learn about the Kingdom of God. Why is the Kingdom important? How does Jesus fit into the story of the Kingdom? If we believe those to be true (and we do!) what does it mean to live as a child to help bring the Kingdom to earth now? Families will answer those questions through rich teaching from strong spiritual leaders, in small group devotional times with their family, and at evening worship at Vesper Hill. Our prayer is that each person young or old 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.
