Camp Overview

We like to call ourselves the 500 acre, memory maker! We are an all co-ed residential camp, with actives that range from having our own lake with lots of lake activities to having a herd of 40+ wonderful horses on site all year round. We run for eight weeks in the summer and our program ages run from 7 to 17. We are located about an hour north west of Columbus Ohio, and open our camp to "love all and serve all"!
