God’s love for us and His hope to restore us is a beacon of hope and great love for our

daily lives! The summer will also be filled with the great things you love about life at Riverside. Extreme Caution: the following list may cause a

severe case of over excitement! Great counselors, music, skits, carpetball, nuke ‘em, large group games, horseback rides,

swimming, soccer, football, ranch camp, challenge course, 2@2, bonkers, canoeing, great friends, the mime, Chapel, and many great

times filled with the love of Jesus! You sure can’t beat that, can you? No, you can’t! To experience all of this, and much more,

check out the information below for more details and register today online! It may be a week that could change your life!

If you have never been to camp before, or if you’ve been here for many years, we promise that this will be a great summer of living in and learning about the love of Jesus. We hope you will join us for

an amazing time at Riverside!

The Camp ExperienceMany people ask, “What’s so special about camp?”

Riverside offers an experience that focuses on the whole camper. The physical benefits of camp are many,

offering youth an active camp experience in which they are able to exercise and play in a safe place. Camp

offers knowledge of God’s Word and challenges campers to think deeply about how God’s Word is active in their

lives to benefit them mentally.

At Riverside, we strive to create a comfortable and encouraging social environment for youth to grow friendsips and learn what Christian community is all about. Finally, the eternal benefits of camp are great too, as we focus everything we do on the Good News of Jesus Christ and a God that desires a relationship with us that will last forever.

So, what’s so special about camp? God is at work at Riverside, impacting the whole person for our good and His glory!
