Experience Something New This Summer.
Summer at Carolina Creek
Make no mistake, this isn’t classic Sunday school. Campers will experience impactful worship, thoughtful teaching, creative dramas and engaging small group discussions to equip and challenge campers to take their next step in their faith.
Raising Kids is Hard
Especially if you want them to be resilient, courageous, kind, bold, compassionate and responsible people – but you don’t have to do it alone. Let us love your kids too.
We’ll coach your child on how to build friendships, listen well, share, resolve conflicts, cooperation, and earn trust.
We received a letter from a mom. She sent her 2 boys last summer and she told us:
“My 7th grader was entering a new school. He was dreading it, and it has still been difficult, however his Carolina Creek experience prepared him in a way nothing else could, and gave him that time with Jesus. And my younger son encountered unexpected joy at camp. Thank you!”
Camp is about getting close to a small group of friends, experiencing adventures, talking about the deeper things in life, making memories and coming home changed.
Let us create experiences in God’s beautiful creation from dawn to dusk for your child. Let us take the devices and controllers and screens, and plan something so surprisingly fun they won’t even be missed.
Let us be another positive voice that affirms your child’s worth.
Let us reinforce the character traits that delight your heart.
Let us call them to step up – to say and do what’s right, and to step out – without fear – to be the person they’re meant to be.
Let us invite your kid to experience and know God’s love. They’ll find His love in stillness, in worship, in community with others who want that, too.
Let us guide your child from God’s Word, through asking questions that may or may not have answers. Let us model what it’s like to love and serve God while having an absolute blast.
Please let us welcome your child for a few days or a week this summer. (Or come with your family!) We’re with you and for you.
Peace,

The Carolina Creek Experience
Carolina Creek is excited to host another amazing season of summer camp experiences in 2023! With three specialized age-specific programs, each day allows for campers to participate in exciting activities like climbing through the Jungle adventure course, soaring on a zip line, wakeboarding at the Cable Park, tubing on Lake Livingston, playing in “The Ocean” waterpark, and so much more!
Core to the camp experience, campers won’t be doing these activities alone. No, camp is all about making and strengthening friendships! Our Counselors are hand-picked and specially trained to help campers bond and grow closer together with each other and Jesus as they have the time of their lives.
We believe that God speaks to people in many different ways, whether that be through Bible study, worship, dramas, small groups, talks with friends and counselors or spending time in creation itself. We’re intentional with every aspect of the camp experience to allow room for God to work in His unique ways as campers laugh, play, learn and experience the love of Jesus in a whole new way.
Our Approach
We Are Christ-Centered
Carolina Creek is an independent, non-denominational camp ministry inviting people to know and experience the love of Jesus Christ. We major on the majors and minor on the minors, focusing on Christ’s love and directing complex doctrinal issues to parents and pastors.
The Bible Is Our Source Material
Camp provides countless ways to learn using all of our senses, our hearts, minds, and imaginations. We mine the teachable moments that are created by activities, dramas, games and being in nature. Time alone with God in His Word, small and large group teaching and discussion, worship through music and movement all allow campers to come alive to God in His revealed truth through Scripture.
Our Summer Staff Is Second To None
Specialized activity and support staff ensure that counselors get to focus on loving kids and processing every part of their camp experience. We are diligent in hiring young adults who love Jesus and kids, are exemplary role models and will cherish your child all day, every day.
Safety Is Our First Priority
We work closely with consultants, licensing agencies, vendors and advisors to ensure best practices in emergency procedures, medical care staff recruiting and hiring, activities, food service and security. We strive to keep kids safe physically, emotionally and spiritually.
We Partner With Churches
Carolina Creek values the work of the church and will do all that we can to make the camp experience an integral part of your year round ministry. Let us know how we can build on your foundation and help your campers take the next step in their life with God, whether through attending a Carolina Creek camp or creating one of your own.

We Include Campers With Special Needs
