About the provider

The story of Spruce Lake began in 1955, and the first open house was in May 1963. Spruce Lake Ministries says its mission is: "Pointing People Toward Christ."

The camps are largely tech-free. Direct parent contact is reserved for special or uncommon circumstances. Requests for camper checks are best made in the morning. Hospital, 911 and clinic services are available as needed with an approximate 20-minute response time.

What families say

“Our children ask to go to Spruce Lake for camp, and we don’t even have to think twice when we answer. Camp is a wonderful place for them to grow without us around. Some of the best growth happens away from home and we are thankful for Spruce Lake and the confidence we have in the people to be a safe place for our children to do that.” — Camp Parent
