Lakeshore Camp & Retreat Center

Camp Hope Series

Camp Hope Series

Lakeshore offers a series of camp programs designed to meet the specific needs of children and youth living on the edges. These programs are NOT designed to be a psycho-analytical counseling experience, but a time of building community and bearing witness to the hope of God’s dependable and unconditional love. These camps are offered without a fee; however, persons or organizations wishing to fund the cost of these camps may do so at a fee of $350 per camper.

Camp Grace
ages 15-18

July 6-10, 2026

For female victims of sexual abuse – anger, loneliness, and confusion are just a few of the things at play in our emotions. We need to be able to trust, experience self-worth, and be a valid part of the community again. As we explore the adventure-based activities that make Lakeshore great fun, we will also look into the gift God has given us in our sexuality, the ugliness that some people place upon it, and the things it takes to become secure in it all

Camp Peace
ages 12-14

July 13-17, 2026

This camp addresses the needs of male youth in our society who respond to everyday situations and problems with aggressive behavior. Camp staff will help youth learn ways to chort-circuit their tendency toward violent responses while helping campers develop effective problem-solving skills that enable them to avoid confrontation. Add in all the fun and wonder of normal camp activities, the opportunity to develop new friendships, and the beauty of God’s fabulous creation and you have all the elements of a life-changing week.
