Which camp is right for you?

Sequential Programs

for Personal & Spiritual Growth

Children and teens live in a crazy, busy world. School, sports, homework, extracurricular activities, friendships, recreation, and social media all vie for their attention.

But living in this high-tech, fast-paced, win-at-all-cost culture can leave its scars on young people. Loneliness, rejection, low self-esteem, pressure to perform, and fear of the future are some of the struggles that cause anxiety and heartbreak. In addition to these struggles, students are growing up in a culture that often attacks their faith and undermines the Christian values we all cherish. Doe River Gorge desires to partner with parents and youth leaders to help children and teens navigate through these formative and challenging years. From the time a student enters second grade until they graduate from college, Doe River Gorge offers sequential, age-appropriate summer camps that will inspire, educate, encourage, and equip students to be all they can be. In this fun, loving, and caring refuge, students have time to grasp their value and worth, discover their gifts and abilities, develop Christ-like character, and meet God in life-changing ways.
