“[Camp] is a great way to experience something new while also being able to engage in fellowship with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. And it really is just such a cool sport that we play here, and being able to learn it - it’s just like nothing else I’ve ever done.” ​

2025 Overnight Camps
Why Camp?
Stronghold overnight camp is unlike any other experience.
You are immersed in a community of fellow warriors, striving as one to honor Christ as you dive deeper into the study of His Word, work with your team to complete challenges on an Imagination Adventure, and hone your skills on the battlefield through the guidance and instruction of excellent teachers.
​
Stronghold overnight camp also offers all the parts of a traditional camp experience like singing, campfires, and devotions to create memories that will last a lifetime.
