Our Summer camp experience is fun and life-changing! Join us to develop athletic skills, build Christian character, demonstrate sportsmanship in competition, and have fun!

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT CAMP SEASON!

2024 was an amazing Summer Camp Season! We had the blessing of seeing the Lord work in some amazing ways through not only the kids that we served, but through our Staff as well. This year, across our BuxMont, Lehigh Valley and Stronghold Districts as well as our In The Zone athletics training facility in the Lehigh Valley, we conducted 39 camps with 17 camp partners in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We served approximately 1,075 campers across all of the camps combined ranging from ages 4-17 where 247 kids signed our Play for Christ contract and 50 kids made salvation decisions for the first time!

This Summer, we were able to see the most expansion in our Summer camps in years, and we are excited to see what the Lord has in store in 2025!

2024 CAMP TESTIMONIALS

My son came home from Camp today and cried in my arms because he was so sad it’s over! What a testament to the fantastic week you both provided!  So thankful for this new camp we found! (BuxMont Camper Testimonial)

Thanks very much! My son had a great time at camp and he remembered the things you all had talked about each day and told us about them! Thanks for all your work on this. (BuxMont Camper Testimonial)

Thank you again so much for an awesome week of camp! We LOVED that this year’s Bible Study theme was overcoming hurdles. It was so relevant for my son, especially this year, and prompted so many conversations! Until next year! (BuxMont Camper Testimonial)

My son’s do a lot of camps and they said after the first day of camp that this was their favorite one. (BuxMont Camper Testimonial)

We have been praying for squire Owen for a few years now. I (Stephen) have been doing Bible study with this teenager praying and trying to answer his questions for years. Two years ago he would say he was not a Christian. He went to church with his family and knew all the Bible answers but wasn’t sure if he was saved. One year ago he thought he might be saved but wasn’t sure, he thought he became saved for a moment then lost his salvation. He wasn’t sure how much faith he needed to be considered a Christian. (More Bible Study and praying with this teen. ) At our half day camp Owen asked if he could meet up for lunch with one of the camp counselors (they are family friends and childhood friends). At lunch he told his Stronghold mentor that he is now confident in his salvation and that Christ’s sacrifice is complete, he knows he is going to heaven and a part of God’s family. This is significant because a year ago he thought for a moment he might be saved but didn’t want to tell anyone in case he was wrong. Now he is boldly telling others he belongs to Christ.  (Stronghold Camper Testimonial)
