Summer Camp 2015 is now in the books and what a great summer it was! Over the course of the summer we hosted over 408 participants… that’s a whole lot of kids! The summer was filled with Super Heroes (our theme for the summer), laughter, fun, and spiritual growth. One of our counselors remarked that his favorite thing about camp was when campers told him that they had given their lives to Christ! I am here to tell you that God showed up this summer!
Our theme verse for the summer was John 3:17, “For God did not send His Son in to the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him”. This worked well with our Super Hero theme… Jesus is our ultimate super hero who came to save the world. Our Chaplains and Program leaders had fun with all this and the kids loved it.
Thank you to all who participated and supported in camp this summer. It is because of your love and support of the camp and for kids that we are able to serve God in this place.

Thanks again for an awesome summer and we hope to see you all back next year.

Trail’s End Cabin to be opened in January 2016
We have some exciting news about a renovation that is going on right now. We are working hard to have our sixth and final cabin renovated and open by Winter Camp 2016! The bathroom walls and roof are up, the plumbing, electrical, and, yes, the all important air conditioning, are being installed over the next three months. Upon completion we will have three boy cabins and three girl cabins all on the same side of the camp! This renovation was made possible by individual donors… if you would like to contribute to our Capital Improvements please contact us at the camp office or via email at campwingmann@gmail.com.
We will have other dates posted on our Webpage and on Facebook as time draws closer… hope to see you around camp over the year!
