Camp Activities
A typical day at camp includes Bible Study and other activities like swimming, boating, arts & crafts, hiking, games, a trip to our ropes course, and/or archery.
What Kids and Parents say about Camp Johnsonburg
-“It’s a fun, safe, nurturing Christian experience.”
-“Camp makes you feel welcome, unlike some other places we
may encounter. People want to be your friend and get to know
you, and that is awesome.”
Summer Theme
This summer’s theme is “Hanging out with Jesus” and we’ll use scripture, stories, and discussion to look at our relationship with Christ, who Jesus spent with and what that says about who we should be hanging out with.
The value of Christian Camping
In 2002 the national Presbyterian Church surveyed Presbyterians across the country and one of their findings was that for over 50% of pastors and laypeople, a camp and conference center was the site of a singular faith-enhancing experience.
