Camp Overview
Trout Lake Camps is a multi-site Christian camp for all ages located in central Minnesota. Our mission is to engage children, youth and adults with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ by creating unique camp communities and learning experiences in which our words, our service and our personal relationships capture and communicate the essence of the gospel. Trout Lake Camps is passionate about reaching the next generation with the transformational message of Jesus. Trout’s dynamic programming and unique atmosphere create an unforgettable experience. It is in this setting that relationships are forged, memories are made, and campers have a foundational encounter with God. Trout Lake Camps officially opened in 1947 and since then more than 275,000 people have experienced this "meeting place with God." The camp sits on 325 acres north of Brainerd, Minnesota, and offers incredible experiences from summer camp to weekend retreats for youth and adults. In summer 2019, we employed about 160 college-aged staff, 36 were International Staff from 10+ other countries.
