Summer Camps
Summer camps are the core of the Story Book experience.
Fun, action-packed days drift into reflective evenings around the campfire. Meals are delicious and hearty and are given ecstatic reviews by campers and staff alike. You'll gain a deeper understanding of the Bible and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Lifelong friendships have been born out of our summer camps. (Learn more about what a day at camp looks like here)
Story Book Lodge has camps running from June through August and ages ranging from 9 to 19, plus family camps. These camps vary in duration and focus.
The Story Book Lodge staff are volunteers who are focused on creating a great week for each camper. We have staff ranging from high school students to seasoned parents who serve with their families. SBL has operated every summer for 75+ years.
Note from the Director: 4th Junior Camp has replaced Girls Camp. There is no Girls Camp scheduled for the foreseeable future.

Family camps are a great time to spend a week together learning about God, enjoying nature, and making new friends. Each family is assigned one of the unique cabins for the week. Throughout the day, there are many age-appropriate opportunities to hear and discuss the word of God.
Family camp is a relaxed atmosphere and provides families plenty of time for rest and enjoyable free-time activities together and with new friends. And it's so popular with families that we offer 3 of these camps each summer!
