Ideal for: Kids, Students, Teens | Ages: 8 – 15 | Dates: July 14th – 26th
Adventure is waiting…
Dare to be bold. Dare to explore. Experience adventure like never before.
Black Diamond Summer Camp is an outrageously fun 6-day experience where kids come seeking adventure and leave with a head full of memories, a heart full of life-changing insights from His Word… and maybe a few proud battle scars to prove it all happened.
Hang up and hang out: making memories that last.
Unbridled fun and real outdoor adventures. No phones. No devices. No wifi in these woods, but we guarantee you’ll find a better connection. It’s a place where life-long memories are born, where life-changing growth is found through the Word of God, and bonds are formed with friends you’ll never forget. Not to mention, learn from the best at roasting a proper marshmallow. Summer Camp is no walk in the park. It can be a challenge — physically, spiritually, and emotionally. You’ll love it when you’re here, and miss it when it’s over… until you come back next year!
