Our Facilities:
Surrounded by the Council Grove Reservoir, our camp is as close as you can get to being on an island in the center of the United States! Wide open prairie with pockets of forest and the wildlife to keep it interesting. Why stop at a lake? We have an in-ground swimming pool, High Ropes Course with climbing walls and Zip Lines, Target Range, hiking trails, Outdoor Amphitheater, outdoor sports fields and courts, and a large dining hall for meals, indoor activities and shows. Our outdoor chapel, Vesper Point, is famous amongst our camp community for its gorgeous sunsets. Did we mention each cabin room has its own bathroom and shower? Cabins are air conditioned, and campers have space to store their personal belongings.
