More than a Summer Camp
Encompassing 200+ acres and a 34-acre lake located just west-southwest of Little Rock, the Lake Nixon Outdoor Center is minutes from the heart of the capital city. Still a ministry of Second Baptist Church, the Lake Nixon Outdoor Center encompasses the Summer Day Camp–celebrating its 50th year in 2019–a unique Outdoor Preschool, recreational facilities for group rental, and more. The LNOP seeks to be a pristine, sacred space where God’s presence may be sensed through worship, education, recreation, and sanctuary.

Reserve Time With Us
Small groups can sign up for times to hike, fish, and just relax at Lake Nixon. There is no required charge for these visits but we are grateful for donations that help us meet operating expenses.
