WHAT IS FAMILY CAMP?
Family camp at Delta Lake is a Christ-centered gathering where people of all ages come together to encounter Jesus, build community, and experience rest, renewal, and joy.
Families, couples, individuals, and grandparents come to spend intentional time together - worshiping, learning, playing, and fellowshipping alongside hundreds of other believers in a classic summer camp setting.
Whether you stay for a few nights or the full event, Family Camp offers space to slow down, reconnect, and be refreshed spiritually and relationally.
A DAY IN THE LIFE
Family camp follows a rhythm, not a rigid schedule.
Each day includes:
-
Morning chapel + children/teen programs
-
Optional daytime activities
-
Free time at the lake or around campus
-
Evening chapel + children/teen programs
-
Fellowship late into the night
You are free to participate in what you choose. Some families fill their days with activities, while others rest, read, nap, or enjoy unstructured time together. Family Camp is designed to meet you where you are.
WORSHIP, TEACHING & SPIRITUAL LIFE
Morning and evening chapel services are held in our Main Tabernacle, which is often filled - especially on Sunday mornings.
Each year, we host:
-
Musical guests who lead meaningful, Christ-centered worship
-
Guest speakers who faithfully teach God's Word with gospel clarity and purpose.
These gatherings are a highlight of Family Camp - a powerful reminder of the unity of the Body of Christ and a glimpse of what eternity together will one day look like.
Morning and evening chapel services are also provided for youth in our Youth Tab.
CHILDREN & YOUTH PROGRAMS
Childcare and age-based programs are provided daily:
-
Mornings: 9:45AM - 12:00PM
-
Evening: 7:00PM - 8:30PM
-
Ages: 0 - Age 15
These programs allow parents to attend chapel, rest, or enjoy time together while children and youth are taught, cared for, and engaged in age-appropriate ways.
PROGRAMS
These are exciting programs for kids from birth to grade 5. Each day has Bible lessons, crafts, activities, and snacks. A highlight each year is the "Olympics" on July 4th where the kids compete in a host of games.
The junior and senior high students enjoy this program geared specifically for them with daily times for worship, Bible study, and small group discussions. We also have tons of fun activities like dodgeball, Archery Tag and capture the flag.
The adults have plenty planned for them each day including the morning missions and Bible hour and evening worship service. There are times for fellowship each morning and a wide variety of activities throughout each afternoon.
