GENEVA Camp & Retreat Center

3rd - 6th grades

This overnight camp is designed around extreme fun and helping grow each camper's relationship with Jesus! Each day is guided by high-energy, passionate role models. The experience on GENEVA Shores is accompanied by activities such as beach games along Lake Michigan, getting drenched in the splash park, and making s'mores around the campfire with your cabinmates. This impacting experience is rooted in the love of Christ.

Summer means it's time to GET IN THE GAME at Camp Geneva! You’ll chase each other around camp in a huge game of Capture the Flag. You'll jump in our enormous swimming pool, go crazy in the splash park, scream down the slip 'n slide, and decide if you dare to take the polar bear plunge in Lake Michigan! Dry off and try your hand at a game of nuke 'em, tetherball, box hockey, or archery. Afterward you can hang out with the new friends you've made, eat treats from the store, and tie dye a t-shirt.

Fired-up, college-age counselors can't wait for you to join them as you embark on a week of Olympic spirit, unity, and camaraderie. Join the counselors as they demonstrate what it means to GET IN THE GAME as we praise Jesus in large and small group worship experiences. Christ doesn't want us to simply sit on the sidelines, so we'll share together what it takes to daily live for Him.

So lace-up your sneakers, and get ready to GET IN THE GAME at GENEVA!

The camp fee covers all camp expenses including a theme t-shirt, an 8x10 group photo, and daily arts & crafts options.
