Changing Lives through Christ Centered Camping
Each summer thousands of young people come to Latham Springs Camp to spend one of the most enjoyable and life-changing weeks of their lives! Youth and Children’s ministers and leaders from different churches plan and program their individual weeks for worship, bible study, and spiritual enrichment. The Latham Springs staff works with each group to provide excellent facilities, food service, and recreation.
This well-planned and supervised retreat environment produces a meaningful time so youth can safely interact with each other, benefit from mature Christian leadership, and experience a concentrated time of spiritual reflection that we pray leads to life-long, productive Christian living.
