Christian Youth and Children’s Camps remain one of the most effective environments for evangelism and spiritual growth, because they provide something that is increasingly rare in today’s world: uninterrupted time with the Lord, Christian community, and God’s Word being proclaimed daily.

Here are 10 reasons why they should be supported, and how they continue to make a lasting impact:

1. Students are removed from everyday distractions.

Away from phones, social media, sports, and school pressures, students are often more attentive to hearing God’s voice (Mark 1:35).

2. Extended exposure to God’s Word.

Instead of hearing one sermon a week, students spend several days immersed in biblical teaching, worship, prayer, and Scripture.

3. The Holy Spirit often uses concentrated time.

Throughout Scripture, God frequently worked during seasons of retreat and focused encounters (Moses on Sinai, Elijah at Horeb, Jesus in the wilderness, the disciples with Jesus).

4. Relationships are deepened.

Shared experiences create authentic friendships that encourage faith long after camp ends (Hebrews 10:24–25).

5. Life-changing decisions happen.

Many people can point to camp as the place where they trusted Christ, surrendered to ministry, repented of sin, or recommitted their lives to following Jesus.

6. It creates space for honest conversations.

Students often open up about struggles, doubts, addictions, and hurts in ways they never would in a one-hour weekly gathering.

7. Worship becomes more than a routine.

Without the rush of everyday life, students often engage in worship with greater focus and sincerity.

8. Students encounter faithful adults.

Camp exposes them to pastors, speakers, counselors, and volunteers who model what it looks like to follow Jesus faithfully.

9. It interrupts unhealthy patterns.

Sometimes a change of environment is exactly what God uses to break destructive habits and begin new ones (Romans 12:2).

10. Camp is a catalyst, not the finish line.

The goal isn’t emotional experiences; it’s launching students into lifelong discipleship through the local church. Camp works best when it’s connected to ongoing discipleship before and after the event.

Christian Camp doesn’t replace the ministry of the local church—it amplifies it by creating an environment where students can hear the gospel clearly, respond wholeheartedly, and return home ready to grow as disciples of Jesus.

So… what’s the big deal about Beech Springs Camp? Why do we have an Associational Camp?
This is why. These two pics are of OUR LBA Camps at Beech Springs.
For years, we have seen lives changed at Camp. That continued this year!
Over 170 campers between both Youth & Kids Camps!
Over 50 adults invested in the lives of our young folks, AND connected with other Christians from other churches.

If you missed this year, we will be announcing 2027 dates soon!
If you are not a part of LBA, and your group would like to host a Camp week at our facility, let’s chat! DM us at this page or at Beech Springs Camp & Conference Center!

Tell me you had a FULL Camp without saying anything.
One picture says it all!
Thank you to all the churches who sent campers & chaperones… to the parent, who trusted us with your campers… to the chaperones who gave up their own time to invest in the kids… and to the Camp staff who helped make it a successful week.
Churches…
Please keep us updated on any decisions made during camp time!
