About

• Ages: 0–18 years old
New Life Christian Camp has been open in the same location since 1914. Its mission is to use the campgrounds, facilities, and resources as an opportunity to share the love of God and the message of Jesus Christ, and to provide a safe and functional facility to all who visit. The camp’s main annual event is a family camp in July called Camp Fusion, with activities scheduled for all ages. The grounds are described as offering a place of rest and refuge, along with laughter and hope, with a true camp feel of being away from distractions and enjoying the outdoors with others. The center of life at the camp focuses between the open air tabernacle and dining hall, and the grounds mainly function through volunteers and giving individuals, with the first 100 years of summer camp run 100% from donations. The venue includes an open air tabernacle, dining hall, Shepherds Inn with 10 motel rooms, twelve renovated cabins, a youth chapel, a nursery, two apartments, and RV hook ups, and the facilities are available to visit or for rent year-round. For many years, New Life Christian Camp partnered with the Free Methodist Church to hold various meetings and camps, and in 2021 they mutually ended those ties to establish the campground as a self-sustaining, non-denominational nonprofit that engages with churches from other denominations as well. The camp exists to bring the Body of Christ together.
