2025 SUMMER THEME
God With Us!
"Do not fear, for I am with you." – Isaiah 41:10
At camp this summer, we’ll explore the incredible truth that God is with us—always, in every moment and season of life. Through engaging Bible stories, hands-on activities, campfire & worship, we’ll discover how God’s presence surrounds us in every experience.
Each day, we’ll dive into a different way God shows up in our lives: in Helpers –in Friendships –in Jesus – in Challenges –in the Spirit. Whether around the campfire, or in the stillness of nature, we’ll celebrate the unshakable promise that God is with us – yesterday, today, and always.
WHY CAMP?
Thinking about sending your kids to camp this summer? Wondering what campers will gain from a week at Red Willow?
We’re glad you asked! Here are just a few benefits of camp:
Faith!
Campers explore faith through interactive Bible studies, worships and cabin devotions. We encourage campers to engage their faith with a sense of wonder rather than certainty. This wonder ignites a passion for lifelong faith exploration.
Affirmation!
Our summer staff are specially trained to engage campers in all camp activities while honoring their individual needs. While our top priority will always be safety, a close second is ensuring that your camper is valued and loved by our young adult staff. We want all campers to know that they are beloved children of our God.
Community!
Camp is structured to build meaningful relationships! Campers live together in cabins and are partnered with other cabins throughout the week for activities. As a cabin group, campers make decisions together, serve each other and share all the joys and challenges of camp. It’s a great way to practice living well with others.
Adventure!
All our beloved camp activities and lots of freshly minted, improvised activities keep campers fully engaged every day! Beyond these stated activities, we make space to revel in God’s creation – surrounded by live oak trees and starlight. Campers are encouraged to try new things and most of all have fun!
SUMMER CAMP OPPORTUNITIES
Red Willow provides a variety of summer camp opportunities. All of our camps include worship, time to learn about scripture, fun songs, bonfires, counselor lead games.

Discovery – PAUSED FOR 2025
Ages 18+
This is our amazing camp for adults with special needs! Campers enjoy a relaxing get away at camp that allows them to help create an experience based on their needs and interests. Discovery camp goes from Sunday to Wednesday. Additional volunteers are needed for this week. Please contact program@redwillowbiblecamp.org if you have interest or experience.
This summer, we are pausing our Discovery Camp program to take time to assess how we can better support and grow this ministry in the future. This decision comes as we navigate staffing challenges, facility accessibility needs, and gaps in healthcare training. Our goal is to ensure that when we offer this program, we do so with excellence, care, and the proper resources to create a safe and enriching experience for all. We deeply appreciate the love and commitment of our campers, families, and supporters, and we look forward to sharing updates as we work toward the future of this program. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
For 2025, as we remain committed to this ministry, campers can consider attending our partner camp, Park River Bible Camp (PRBC), which offers a similar program called Camp Jubliee https://www.parkriverbiblecamp.org/camps/jubilee/.

COSTS
Red Willow is committed to ensuring that no one is turned away from camp due to cost. Generous donors allow us to provide camp at less than cost for every participant. Without our donors camp would cost $750 per week. Instead Registrants have the opportunity to choose from our fee tiers.
-
Tier 1 is our standard fee and represents approximately 50% of the real cost of camp. The generosity of donors makes this possible.
-
Tier 2, for those who choose, represents approximately 2/3rds of the real cost.
-
Tier 3, for those who choose, represents the real cost of camp. Choosing this tier allows for others to receive full scholarships as needed.
