Summer Camp Basics
What Is Special About
Camp Allendale?
The People Are
Our campers are why we exist! Our dedicated camp staff, along with hundreds of counselor volunteers sacrifice their time every summer. They sacrifice for one reason...to reach out to kids and bring them closer to the Lord and build up their faith.
What Camps Include
All camps include biblical studies, small groups, devoted Christian counselors, interaction with a resident missionary, recreational activities, and of course, lots of fun! Our unique recreational activities include our low ropes course, zip lines, climbing tower and swing, the human foosball court, and of course, the "Blob". Activities listed in pink are for grades 7 and above.
