Camp Christopher strengthens community, confidence, and connection for people of all ages, including persons with disabilities.

For over 100 years, Camp Christopher has helped young people grow in faith, friendship, confidence, and community. Every camper’s story is unique. Some come with the help of camperships and others do not, but what we hear again and again from parents and campers is the same: camp changes lives.

This year, we are raising funds for the 2026 Campership Fund, ensuring that every child has the chance to experience the nature, community and spirit found across our 165 acres. Your generosity helps open our gates to families who otherwise could not afford summer camp, and the impact lasts far beyond one week in the woods.

Below are quotes shared directly from our campers and parents. These stories show how your support can make a difference.





“I think Camp Christopher is the best place I’ve ever went. I think Camp Christopher is a place for new people that have never been there. They can see how great that place is and how much fun you can have with other new people. Last time, I didn’t know anybody except for 2 people and then I made a lot of friends in the cabin. Camp Christopher is a place to make friends and a place to have fun.” - Camper  

"I’ve been going to camp Chris for 7 years and every time I have a ton of fun. There is so much to do and you can meet a lot of new people. - Camper

"I have had 6 summers at this camp and I am grateful for all of them. This camp is a great place to not only learn life lessons but meet some pretty awesome people. The community at this camp is amazing and definitely my favorite part!" - Camper

"Another great season at Camp Christopher! The 100-year spirit of Camp Chirs is grounded in nature and rooted in faith. There is something so special about it, and it is a BIG part of our annual summer planning. It's the first thing we lock in. Our son started at Camp Chris when he was 5 years old at Day Camp, and now at 13 still looks forward to it every year - just finished his 5th year of overnight camp. He wants to be a counselor someday - which is a true indication of just how much he loves going to Camp Christopher. Great location, great staff, great campus, great activities - God is Good!"Parent of Camper

"Camp Christopher has been amazing for my special needs son. The summer camp I would highly recommend to anyone. He truly loved going and enjoyed it. I felt like he was in great hands and he told me what he did everyday! We are looking forward to coming back next year!" Parent of Camper

"All 3 of our kids have gone to Camp Christopher for 8 years each. They have loved it each time and were very sad to leave when it was over. They have made lasting friendships and did tons of fun summer camp activities." Parent of Camper
