Camp Judson

Set in the heart of the Black Hills of South Dakota, Camp Judson offers an ideal location to grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ.

We know you're all excited about the new building, but we'd be even more excited if we had all of our summer staff in place soon.

As summer camps have swelled, so have the number of seasonal staff required to keep up in the kitchen and dining hall, in the craft and snack shops, at the waterfront and in and around our buildings and grounds.

Are you a young person or know of a young person who isn't afraid of hard but fun-filled, purposeful work? We'd love to talk to them about working at Camp Judson this summer.

In particular, we need:

One person to run our craft shop, take pictures and videos and put together a weekly photo album for campers to take home.

One or two more people who would enjoy working in the kitchen. We're not looking for chefs, just coachable kids who are willing to learn their way around the kitchen.

Interested high school and college-aged kids can find out about all of our summer positions and perks at campjudson.org/work-here/summer-jobs and fill out an application at https://campjudson.org/work-here/apply-for-a-summer-job

We hope to hear from you soon!

"So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."
Ephesians 3:17-19

The final structural beam was installed yesterday. It's hard to understand how big Bear Gulch Lodge is unless you see it. So we hope this short clip will help you grasp the size and scope of this project and remind you how great and good a God we serve!

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope (Romans 15:13)."

It's been a week since high winds rolled through the Black Hills and knocked out power at Camp Judson, so we've been thinking a lot about power lately. But it takes on a different meaning at Christmas.

You see, the power of Christmas is that Jesus changes everything.

God came for us. This is what makes faith in Jesus different from any religion or self-help program. We couldn't go up to God, so Jesus came down to us.

Jesus became like us, so we might become more like Him. Christmas reminds us that the power of God is at work, and it's His power that works in, through and for us. It's a call to discipleship, and it's why we do what we do here at Camp Judson. This good news of great joy to all people is what we proclaim through Bible teaching, team-building activities, positive role models, connection with God’s creation, and a supportive community.

So Merry Christmas, friends! When we couldn't get to God, He came for us. May that power your Christmas celebrations this year in a way that electricity can't.

We expect power to be restored soon, and registration for all 2026 summer youth, adult and family camps will open Jan. 1 at campjudson.org.

In the meantime, you can set up or edit your account by visiting campjudson.portal.icamppro.com/login. And you can partner with us in what God is doing at campjudson.org/give.

We're looking forward to seeing those registrations rolling in soon!

P.S. If you look closely, you'll notice the cross stands high above any earthly power.

We've been without power since high winds rolled through the Black Hills late Wednesday evening. The upside is there will be plenty of slash for Project campers to clean up. The downside is limited communication. If you haven't heard back from us about registration or are expecting more information about registration, it will come as soon as we're back up and running.
