Spruce Lake Day Camp offers a meaningful, growth‑focused experience for children ages 5–15 in our community. We provide a friendly, secure place where kids can develop socially, emotionally, and spiritually while forming new friendships and enjoying plenty of outdoor time. Through unique activities and exciting adventures, we encourage strong character, help campers understand their worth within their families, communities, and the world, and share these values through a biblical lens. Fall and Winter Fun Days give children a wonderful chance to get a taste of Day Camp—or simply reconnect with their summer friends and enjoy time together.

How much of a faith focus is there at camp?
Spiritual learning and growth can happen informally throughout the entire day as campers and their counselors build healthy relationships and enjoy lots of outdoor fun together! Campers participate in a wide variety of activities including sports, arts, outdoor games, and more.
In the mornings, there is a time of singing and a brief devotional, and then counselors and campers have a follow-up Bible study or devotional time together.
What is the camper-to-counselor ratio?
We strive to have a Counselor: Camper ratio of 1:8. This ratio is adjusted according to the number and age of the campers enrolled in the program.
