Summer Day Camp
At Lake Nixon, summer is more than time away from school. It’s an opportunity for children to grow through joyful outdoor adventures, meaningful friendships, and new experiences in God’s creation.
In a safe, caring environment, campers are encouraged to explore with curiosity, build confidence, discover a true sense of belonging, and develop gratitude for the world around them. Every day is designed to help children connect with nature, care for one another, and experience the joy of being active, engaged, and fully present while creating memories and life lessons that last well beyond summer.
