The 2024 Summer Camp Season is officially underway as registration opens. Sites are being spruced up, curriculum is being written, and leaders are being trained.
We have camps for everyone! From first graders spending a weekend dipping their toe into camping all the way to young adults who are not ready to leave behind the fun and spiritual growth opportunity of summer camping, there are opportunities for young people of all ages.
New camps
New this year are two offerings designed to appeal to both United Methodists and other traditions. Both CLUE Camp at Canyon, and Cross Point Youth Camp feature an ecumenical approach to doing camp,
focusing on a United Methodist-Wesleyan approach to faith formation. Deans from United Methodist and Wesleyan traditions serve together, and it is hoped that this unified approach will appeal to new and old friends alike.
And of course there will be Camp Spark and Egan Youth Camp, led by United Methodist deans.
All youth camps will feature a curriculum focusing on “Call”- how God calls us to join in kingdom work.
“I will never forget my experiences as a youth at summer camp. Those memories are ones that I continue to
cherish and are the reason I now work for the camps office! Do not miss out on a chance to attend camp this summer.” ~ Wanda Clark
Visit okcamps.org/campbook to explore all of the different camps we offer and to register today!
While on our website, look into the unique experiences offered at all of our camps, including the activity-based learning of Joy Camp for third through sixth graders, an outdoor camping experience that teaches the importance of a team in Wilderness Camp for seventh and eighth graders, and a camp that acts as a stepping stone between children’s camp and youth camp with fifth and sixth Grace Camp.
We cannot wait to see you at camp this summer!
