church camp
Faith-based summer program
Church camp is a residential program, typically lasting a week or two during summer, where young people stay overnight at a campground run by a religious organization.
Activities blend outdoor recreation—swimming, hiking, campfires—with religious instruction, worship services, and faith-based community building.
I accepted Jesus at church camp when I was twelve.
For many, church camp represents formative spiritual experiences, first crushes, and intense but temporary friendships.
