"I loved playing with friends and strengthening my relationship with Jesus." - Grace
Our program at King's Lake Camp is intended to help young people develop new skills, instill a sense of self-confidence, promote positive social interactions, and discover God's creation. As The Salvation Army is part of the universal Christian Church, each camping session includes fun, captivating, and age-appropriate Bible instruction. It could be through fun lessons, memorizing bible verses, or singing silly songs, but your kids will have the chance to draw closer to God in a new and very real way.
