Imagine yourself on Challenge Island preparing for a 40-foot climb to the deck of the tower, the 500-foot thrill ride on the zip line, and being catapulted off the blob into Big Pine Lake. While catching your breath, grab a paint brush, a chunk of clay, or whatever else to express your creative genius in the GENEVA art room. At the end of a day loaded with wild and crazy fun, unwind and chill with friends as you gather around a campfire. This is just a glimpse into the uniqueness of GENEVA Pines.
 

Hang out with energetic counselors who are here to join in on your life and faith journey. These counselors are passionate, college-age students who desire for you to experience Christ's love through action-packed activities, small group Bible study, worship, and challenging talks from the chaplain. Take this week and set it apart as a time to grow closer to your friends, counselors, and God, while letting your life be changed.
 
The camp fee covers all camp expenses including a theme t-shirt, an 8x10 group photo, and daily arts & crafts options.


  
 
Creativity Week: July 19-23, we will have a special week at Geneva Pines. 

Creativity week focuses on how we are created in God's image and that being creative is one way that this is expressed. We also talk about how we can use our creativity to show God to the world. This becomes the focus of the message that the chaplain gives during our evening songs and skits worship time. Our chaplain does a great job of making this time an interactive and creative time for the campers.

During the week we also offer interest groups every afternoon. Each day there will be a couple of creativity-focused options alongside some of our more traditional camp options. These may include some of the visual arts, improvisation, and other activities. Counselors will often make plans for their cabin activity that relate to this creativity theme as well.
