High School Wilderness
2026-07-05 12:00 - 2026-07-10 19:00 | LSCA, 1674 Lick Creek Ln, Chatham, Illinois, 62629, United States
High School Wilderness is designed for students who are ready for a camp experience that stretches them — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This off-site trip partners with Discovery Ministries to take high school campers deep into the Missouri wilderness, where trained Christian guides lead them through days of backpacking, canoeing, rugged terrain, and hands-on outdoor living.

The challenge is real. Campers carry their own gear, cook over a fire, set up and break down camp, and adapt to weather, terrain, and the unexpected. There are no phones, no electricity, and no shortcuts — just the simplicity of wilderness, the rhythm of hard work, and the satisfaction that comes from doing something difficult together.

In that simplicity, campers often discover more than they expected: resilience they didn’t realize they had, confidence born from overcoming discomfort, and clarity that comes only when the noise of everyday life falls away. The physical effort becomes the setting for powerful spiritual growth — Scripture shared around a fire, conversations on the trail, quiet moments beside the water, and the realization that God often speaks loudly in the still places.

This is not an easy week, and it is intentionally not for everyone. But for students who are willing to unplug, push themselves, and step fully into the challenge, High School Wilderness becomes a defining experience — one that builds grit, deepens faith, strengthens community, and leaves a lasting imprint long after the trail ends.

2026-07-07 16:00 - 2026-07-10 12:00 | LSCA, 1674 Lick Creek Ln, Chatham, Illinois, 62629, United States
Adventure 78 takes middle school campers into a more rugged, hands-on camp experience designed specifically for their age group. Held at our Cypress Cove location, this session keeps the entire camp outdoors—from meals cooked over the fire to daily activities that stretch skills and build teamwork. Campers shoot archery, swim, explore the outdoors, play field games, and may enjoy tubing or other lake activities depending on conditions and leadership plans.

With a smaller group size than traditional overnight camps, Adventure 78 fosters tight friendships, deeper conversations, and a space where campers feel known and supported. Middle schoolers thrive on challenge and discovery, and this camp meets them right there—offering plenty of excitement while encouraging them to grow in independence, resilience, and their walk with Christ.

2026-07-19 15:00 - 2026-07-24 16:00 | LSCA, 1674 Lick Creek Ln, Chatham, Illinois, 62629, United States
Junior High Camp is designed for students entering 7th and 8th grade who are ready for a week packed with excitement, challenge, and opportunities to grow.

But the heart of Junior High Camp goes deeper than the activities. Students gather daily for worship, Bible teaching, small group discussions, and personal reflection—creating space for real questions, real conversations, and real spiritual growth. This age group is navigating big transitions, and camp provides a welcoming community where they can build friendships, gain confidence, and better understand their identity in Christ.
