Ideal for: Churches, Schools and Organizations | Ages: Middle School & High School | Dates: June 28th – August 8th
Every summer should have an adventure.
The best ones are at camp.
A 6-day summer camp program designed for churches, schools, or any group looking for a unique adventure camp experience filled with exciting activities, life-changing experiences, new friends, and the Bible presented in ways that resonate with youth.
Explore uncharted territories.
Our goal is to deliver an exciting, memorable and life-changing experience to every camper who comes to Black Diamond. Through outdoor adventures, group challenges, and in-depth Bible studies, campers learn new things and create unforgettable friendships. Campers are encouraged toward personal spiritual growth, are inspired to build tighter bonds within their community, and they leave with a more selfless outlook as they learn more about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. They also face fun physical challenges that help them examine and define how their actions, plans, and decisions can give them a firm foundation in the broad scope of eternity.
Blaze new trails. Conquer old fears. Experience adventure.
