About

Pyoca Camp, Conference & Retreat Center offers summer programs that include waterfront activities and adventure course activities. The organization runs both its own Pyoca Programs and Partner Program camps that take place during the same summer season. Partner Program camps are supported by Pyoca’s summer staff, especially for waterfront and adventure course activities, while bringing their own volunteer staff and leading their own programming.

• Ages: 6–18 years old
• Schedule: Summer camp registration for Camp Friendly, Pyoca Overnight Programs, and Pyoca Day Camp opens Sunday January 4, 2026 at Noon EST; day camp sessions run five days, and overnight sessions range from single-day to multi-day formats.

Pyoca Day Camp in 2026 is scheduled in six five-day sessions: June 8–12, June 22–26, June 29–July 3, July 6–10, July 13–17, and July 20–24.

Pyoca hires and trains a staff of young adults to lead all aspects of camp programming, and Pyoca Programs are run and fully staffed by Pyoca. Partner Program camps are run, marketed, and staffed by outside organizations such as churches or youth-serving non-profits, including Southport Presbyterian Church, Indiana Presbyterian Church, Stop the Violence Indianapolis (NPO), and Orchard Park Presbyterian Church. The organization welcomes guests and hosts groups of all sizes, ages, and backgrounds for day events, camps, and overnight retreats. Pyoca’s ministry is described as an “almost 75-year” ministry, and its mission is stated as “a place where all are welcome in God’s love to explore, grow, rest, and play.”
