Camp Overview
At Heartland, we firmly believe that a week at summer camp can serve as one of the most powerful and life-changing experiences in a person’s life. Among our high energy activities is the foundation and passion to live out our vision of being a place where relationships are built and lives are impacted in a Christ-centered environment.
We exist to build relationships and impact lives for Jesus Christ. Jesus was incredibly relational, He cared deeply for people and spent time investing in their lives. We want every camper, volunteer, and staff member that comes to our camp to feel at home, to be individually known, and to grow deeper in love with their God.
This will be a summer unlike any other, it won't be perfect or easy, but it will be worth it. Overcoming challenges through leaning on a community of 80-90 like-minded staff and the persistent grace of God leads to deep joy, belonging, and love. This summer you will find s'mores, games, late night adventures, worship, community, and a love that never fails. You will find God's Kingdom come to Earth.
We serve in response to the earth shattering reality of Jesus' resurrection, news so good that we can't help but share it with others. Will you join us? Come experience the Kingdom; genuine community, fellowship with your Creator, and the knowledge you changed lives forever. The Kingdom is calling, find your place in it.
We believe our best quality is our exceptional summer college age staff. Their love for campers and dedication to helping them understand what living a life for Christ looks like never ceases to amaze us. Our hope is to create a strong foundation for a genuine Christ-centered life. Our counselors are positive Christian role models who encourage campers to make the most of their time at Heartland and hold onto the lessons they learned and the friends they made.
