Winter Camps
Our world is full of peril: illness and poverty, disasters and war. This world is dangerous spiritually too. It wants to trap us, ensnare us, keeping us from living in the peace and communion with the Father that we were designed for.
But even in the midst of the chaos of this world, we have hope: our lives are eternally sure in Christ. We can rest easy knowing He is our true safety, that we can dwell secure in Him!
Psalm 91:1-6 promises that those who take refuge in God will abide in His shadow, under the safety of His wings! This winter at Camp Elim, boys and girls will learn about our one true Hiding Place. Each winter program features solid Biblical teaching, invigorating worship, delicious food, and a bunch of fun games and activities, supported by a group of well-trained counselors and staff who work hard to ensure that every camper feels safe, included, and loved. Through community with God and others, these programs will encourage students to leave Camp with a renewed faith and confidence in our only source of absolute safety, God Himself.
Registration opens October 1!

Winter SimulCamp
SimulCamp is a weekend with two separate and distinct programs running simultaneously: one for grade school campers (grades 3-6) and one for middle school campers (grades 6-8). Housing, chapels, and activities will all be separated by age group. For parents with students in both age ranges, that means you only have to make the drive to Camp once this winter!
