Summer Vacations

Plan Your Next Summer Vacation

A summer vacation here is more than just a trip to the beach. It’s a “Vacation with Purpose” - a chance to grow and be refreshed in your Christian faith in a beautiful lakeside setting. Each week kicks off with a fun and encouraging free concert by a well-known musical group on Saturday night. For the rest of the week, adults can learn from respected Bible teachers and mission representatives. Kids and teens enjoy fun, age-appropriate programming during the morning and evening - also giving them opportunities to grow in their faith.
