GrandCamp

GrandCamp is a fun-filled, five-day overnight program designed for grandparents and their grandchildren to have fun, meet new friends, and develop a closer bond together with God.   Come and learn how to be intentional about showing the light of Christ to your grandchild; come and praise the Lord with your grandchild; come and watch your relationship with your grandchild blossom and grow!

GrandCamp is a unique, grand faith adventure for grandparents and their grandchildren, focusing on leaving a faith-legacy for the next generations. From engaging in shared purposeful activities, to discovering from God’s Word what it means to walk in the truth, to building a treasure chest of life-changing memories — all in an environment that invites having a pile of fun — this will be a time for building memories that will last a lifetime.

GrandCamp is an amazing intergenerational adventure designed to transport grandparents and their grandkids away from the daily distractions of life, where God can do something extraordinary in the lives of both. If you are a grandparent, GrandCamp offers a unique environment and context for providing a powerful, transformational generation-to-generation experience.

Sharing Our Faith – GrandCamp 2026

Finally, all our schedules aligned – we were going to GrandCamp!

Savannah and Jaxon were excited to attend GrandCamp with us (Mimi & PopPop) for the first time. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with t-shirts, schedules, and name tags that had our names on both sides in big letters so we could always know who we were!

It was a joy-filled week with games and songs and fun that grandparents might expect from a wonderfully planned and beautifully executed summer camp. What made it so special, however, was that everything was planned with our Lord Jesus Christ as the focus of it all.

This year’s theme was “Miracle Worker” with Matthew 19:26 as our main verse. Imagine experiments and games that helped us understand how miraculous His works are. Fun songs to remind us to praise Him with smiles on our faces; everyone actually opening their BIBLES to read scripture together (no cell phones allowed); going to the “Miracle Zone” with visits from Biblical characters reinforcing the lesson of the day; cool junior counselors who paid attention to us; ordained clergy who held our undivided attention while sharing the Gospel; camp leadership who seemed to have thought of every detail; and ending each day with a family devotion time focused on the miracle we had studied that day and the love of our Savior!

The Spirit of the Lord was present, and the opportunity to enjoy a faith-filled week with our grandchildren was amazing. We expect we will long be singing the silly songs and enjoying memories of the time we shared together. Rub a dub dub dub switch!! 😉

GrandCamp 2023: Simply Magnificent

I want to extend my thanks and thoughts to all the team for making GrandCamp 2023 simply magnificent.
