Trailblazers is the perfect step into the fuller, week-long overnight camp experience. Designed for campers entering 3rd through 5th grade, this session blends age-appropriate adventure with intentional spiritual growth. Campers stay in air-conditioned dorms, enjoy delicious from-scratch meals, and jump into a full schedule that includes swimming, boating, archery, crafts, games, worship, and small group time. This age group thrives on exploration, building friendships, and trying new things — and Trailblazers provides all of that in a safe, encouraging environment. Each day, campers hear from our summer missionary partner and have opportunities to support their ministry through canteen offerings. Trailblazers is a lively and meaningful week that helps campers grow in confidence, discover their gifts, and learn what it means to follow Christ in their everyday lives.

Discovery Camps run Monday through Friday throughout the summer for campers entering 2nd through 4th grade. This is a full-day program with no overnight stay. Campers enjoy Bible lessons, outdoor play, daily swimming, crafts, and structured activities that rotate each week. LSCA provides morning and afternoon snacks; campers bring their own lunch. Each week has a unique lesson plan and craft theme, allowing campers to attend multiple weeks without repeating activities. Camps take place at Lakeview Lodge, and each camper receives a t-shirt.

Adventure Extreme is built for middle school campers who love a challenge and want to take their camp experience to the next level. Designed for 6th–8th graders, this three-day daytime program is loaded with skill-building activities, outdoor adventures, and opportunities to grow in confidence and faith. Campers may take part in water sports such as skiing, paddling, or fishing; test their abilities on trails; try biking or archery; and participate in team challenges that stretch both body and mind. Each day runs from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00–5:15 p.m. and includes lunch as well as morning and afternoon canteen times. Alongside the fun and adventure, campers experience worship, teaching, and small-group moments that help them learn to walk closer with Christ. Adventure Extreme is fast-paced, exciting, and designed to help students discover what they’re capable of — all while building strong friendships and unforgettable memories.

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.

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. Adventure 78 blends adventure, spiritual depth, and meaningful community into an unforgettable outdoor experience for campers ready to go beyond the traditional camp routine.

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. Campers stay in air-conditioned dorms, enjoy delicious from-scratch meals, and spend their days swimming, boating, playing gaga ball and 9-square, competing in team challenges, trying archery, and jumping into camp-wide games that match their energy. 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. Campers also hear from our summer missionary partner and have chances to support their ministry through canteen offerings throughout the week. Junior High Camp is a powerful blend of fun, challenge, and faith formation—an unforgettable week where students experience God, community, and adventure in a whole new way.
