Clear Gospel Message

At camp this summer, as always, we teach and explore the gospel with students through worship, stories, small group discussions, and feature activities. Each week has a different speaker and spiritual director to lead the students to a real and intimate relationship with our Savior. 

Camp Worship

Praise can be expressed in many different ways, therefore, we like to help campers become inspired by the Holy Spirit’s movement during different worship times throughout the week. Each week brings a new worship team to lead students to give their all to our Creator. Operating camp during this usual season is giving us an exciting opportunity to have new worship experiences in settings like our outdoor stage.  Don’t worry, the bands will still be here and our sound system will make sure our worship will be heard all over camp. 

Campers also have the opportunity to worship in quiet nature spaces along the waterfront or under the trees, meeting in small groups, navigating through the Bible, and encouraging one another through activities.

Experience

Family Friendly Schedule|Cabin Sleeping|Swimming|Zip Lines|Mammoth Swing|Rock Wall|Bouldering Wall|Tubing
Kayaking|Archery|Beach Cookout|Parent Only Session||Family Devotions| Campfire Worship at Vesper Hill|Memory Making Activities

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. 

Outcomes

New memories focused on togetherness|Strengthened relationships with each other and with God|Shared experiences that give new perspectives on how to be a disciple of Jesus

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. 

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!

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 Elementary Camp?

Glad you asked! Elementary Camp is a traditional Christ-centered overnight camping experience for elementary students grades 3rd – 6th. 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.

COVID Precautions

With COVID impacting everything this season, Pine Creek will be taking a special interest in protecting our campers. Check-in and Check-out will be a low contact, drive-thru style. Disinfecting program materials and shared spaces will be standard practice. The camp week will also re-focus on the cabin groups, without losing any of the connection and fun you expect any other year.

What is Horse Camp?

Horse Camp runs alongside our traditional weeks of camp but reimagines 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 wanting to learn riding basics. 

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. 

Experience

Horse Anatomy | Horse tack & Equipment | Barn & Horse Safety | Horse Grooming | Horse Care | Leading | Horse Behavior | How to ride, walk, trot & steer a horse | Cabin Time | Camp Cookout | Devotions | Camp Worship 

*Riding times are dependant upon horse temperament and instructor’s confidence in camper ability. Riding times and how far a camper will advance in the riding are not guaranteed. We do guarantee that each camper will get to ride at least once and that there will be every opportunity to ride during the week if able. 

COVID Precautions

With COVID impacting everything this season, Pine Creek will be taking a special interest in protecting our campers. Check-in and Check-out will be a low contact, drive-thru style. Disinfecting program materials and shared spaces will be standard practice. The camp week will also re-focus on the cabin groups, without losing any of the connection and fun you expect any other year.
