“Geneva's summer youth camping program invites young people ages 6-18 into a week long christian camp program that is aimed at developing their relationship with god and commitment to serving christ with their lives. During the 2025 summer season, 4,285 campers participated in the four camping programs (day camp for grades one - four, residential camps for elementary, middle school, and high school youth). Highlights include imagination week, connect week, and day camps with an option to try an overnight experience.
