Camp In The City

Adventure doesn’t need to feel so far away.

We’ve partnered with churches throughout the area to bring camp to you! Experience a taste of everything that Black Diamond Adventure Camps has to offer, in your hometown!

Outdoor adventure, without the need to travel.

Can’t get to camp? We’ll bring camp to you. We’ve taken all the adventure and impact of Black Diamond , stuffed it all in a truck or two, and and hit the road to bring our super fun camp experience to kids in urban areas. We partner with churches across the nation to deliver a week-long, fun-filled, Christ-centered, day camp experience specifically designed for kids and supervised by the world’s most energetic counselors.

From rock climbing and archery tag, to soaking-wet water activities; they’ll worship with friends, explore God’s unchanging Word and learn what it means to be a kid who follows Christ. It’s right in your own backyard and jam-packed with adventure activities and opportunities to learn. Kids will look forward to it every summer.

Arrow TAG

We are hunters, and adventure is our game. We are unstoppable, and you are our prey. Take aim and bring ‘em down, before they get you!

Arts & Crafts

You'll leave with tan lines from all the beaded bracelets you've made and traded with your new besties. Get ready for paint under your nails and a bunch of souvenirs.

Camp Store

Maybe you want the latest shirt, or a new comfy hoodie. Maybe you need a bigger coffee mug, or a fresh new water bottle to cover with stickers. Whatever the occasion, this stuff is the best!

Blacklight Dodgeball

Dodgeball is better when you glow in the dark...

Drift Trikes

Fuzzy wristbands, Keds, and sliding sideways on a Big Wheel made for some serious street cred back in the day. Well, we've amped it up.

Field Games

Guaranteed to break the ice. This is camp-olympics! From scavenger hunts to more inventive contests, you're sure to make a few new friends along the way.

Ga-Ga Ball

Ga-ga wha? Trust us, it's not for babies. Part dodge ball, part tag and part king of the hill, it takes action to another level. Stay with it. Rule the octagon!

Inflatables

We're not just full of hot air when we say, "If it inflates, it's great!" Bounce through our collection of endless obstacles and feel your excitement balloon.

Siege Fort

An all out nerf war with team-based domination! Hold the point and survive!

9 Square

Four squares isn’t enough. Why not make it nine? Why not have it in the air? Let’s see how long you can hold the top spot.

Playground

Sometimes you just need to kick back and swing for a little while.

Group Development

Brainstorm with your friends how to solve the puzzle, or just have a good laugh. These games are guaranteed to break the ice!
