church camps
Faith-based summer programs
Church camps are residential programs, typically for children and teenagers, organized by religious congregations or denominations.
Lasting from a weekend to several weeks, they combine outdoor activities with religious instruction, worship services, and fellowship.
The experience often includes campfires, cabin life, and group bonding alongside spiritual development: I accepted Jesus at church camp when I was twelve.
