Send Every Kid To camp
Some moments change everything. At camp, we create space for those moments – where fun and friendship open the door to first-time decisions for Jesus and authentic faith encounters that last a lifetime. Research shows that most people who follow Jesus make that decision before turning 18, and camp creates the perfect environment for young hearts to encounter Christ in life-changing ways.

Transforming Lives Through Summer Camp
The wonder of God’s creation has a unique way of opening hearts. Whether it’s watching a sunrise over a peaceful lake or experiencing a breathtaking ocean sunset, these moments in nature create perfect settings for encountering God’s presence. This is why Eastside summer camps have become transformative experiences for our children and students.
Your Investment in Eternal Impact
Rising costs threaten to put the summer camp experience out of reach for many families:
Kidside Camp (3rd-5th grade): $330
Junior High Camp: $564
High School Camp: $564
These costs, driven by increasing transportation and programming expenses, include everything needed for a life-changing camp experience. Our goal is to offset 50% of these costs, making camp accessible to every child regardless of their family’s financial situation.
Every contribution helps bring the transformative power of camp within reach of more children. When you give, you’re not just sending kids to camp – you’re investing in moments that can shape their faith forever.
THREE REASONS CAMP IS A PRIORITY
Nurturing Faith in Critical Years
Research shows that most people who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior do so before their 18th birthday. In today’s increasingly secularized culture, camp provides an ideal environment for these life-changing decisions. Through age-appropriate gospel presentations and relevant discussions, young people have opportunities to take the next step on their spiritual journey. Camp becomes a catalyst for spiritual growth and leadership development.
Breaking Free from Digital Distractions
Today’s youth are increasingly tethered to screens and digital devices. Camp offers a refreshing break from these daily rhythms, creating space for genuine connections – with God, nature, and each other. When young people put their devices away and become fully present, they often hear God’s voice with newfound clarity.
Strengthening Lasting Relationships
The shared experiences of camp life – from late-night cabin conversations to outdoor adventures – forge deep bonds between campers and their small group leaders. These strengthened relationships continue long after camp ends, creating a supportive community for ongoing spiritual growth.
