About

Campus by the Sea is a Christian camp and retreat program that serves students, adults, and families. The program offers a place to unplug from the mainland and take part in island adventures. It is described as a place to encounter Jesus in fresh and powerful ways.

• Ages: 5–18 years old

For 75 years, Campus by the Sea has been a Christian camp and retreat destination. The program’s mission statement is, “Come away, meet God, and be renewed.” One camper from InterVarsity in March 2026 said, “Campus by the Sea is truly a place where the gap between Heaven and earth is indeed thin.”
