Pinebrook Day Camp
Pinebrook Day Camp provides a growing experience for children in our community ages 5-15. We provide a nurturing, safe environment where children can grow socially, emotionally and spiritually as they develop new relationships and spend lots of time outdoors. As kids take part in lots of clean, wholesome fun and exciting outdoor adventures, we guide them toward developing good character and recognizing their value in the family, community and world, from a biblical perspective. Fall or Winter Fun Days are great times for children to learn about Day Camp, or to simply have fun with summer friends!

Throughout a typical week of Day Camp, children will enjoy many wholesome, fun activities outdoors on Pinebrook’s grounds. These generally include a swim in the pool every day, lots of active games, hiking and campfires, arts and crafts, gaga, paddle boating, treats at the Snack Shop – and more!
Life in the camp community is guided by fun-loving, caring young adults who love kids and will model how to live life in ways that please God. All activities are carefully supervised and age-appropriate, including daily Bible studies with their small groups, and lively large-group worship and guest speakers. And, because we believe that kids in the outdoors can stay healthier and happier, campers spend most of their days outdoors.
