Our story began long before anyone on our leadership team worked together. For some of us, it began with our individual, unique camp experiences in childhood. We remembered, with fondness, feeling God’s presence, making new friends, and feeling at peace in our home away from home. For others, it began with the opportunity to see our children thrive in that environment and benefit spiritually from those experiences. When our team first came together we discussed these experiences and arrived at one simple conclusion - EVERY kid should have a chance to experience a Christian summer camp regardless of their life circumstances or socioeconomic background. It was out of this conviction and calling that Camp Lighthouse was birthed. Our first summer in 2011 included 15 campers during one week of summer camp. Today, we host 4 weeks of summer camp each year with 130+ campers each summer in addition to retreats with our ministry partners and ministry sponsors.
