Camp Genesis is a safe environment where your teen will grow and learn in boundless ways. By choosing Camp Genesis, you’re providing your teen with an opportunity to enrich their life, gain incredible new skills, and set out on an adventure they’ll never forget.

Flat Out Fun
Whether they’re rafting down a river or participating in dozens of activities, our campers have fun. Every day, they wake up with a sense of excitement and anticipation about what new adventures they’ll experience.
Gain Confidence
Camp activities challenge campers to reach their full potential, both as individuals and members of a team. While missing home is natural, campers learn to overcome those feelings in a caring and compassionate environment.
Spending Time Outside
Camp is an incredible opportunity to connect children with nature. From hiking excursions and exploring the campsite to learning practical wilderness skills through amazing activities, campers gain a new appreciation for the great outdoors and becomes more aware of their environment.
Try New Things
Camp is the perfect place to learn new skills. In this environment of encouragement and growth, your child can try things they’ve never encountered before. From hitting the stage in a camp production to the basics of outdoor survival, they’ll have tons of stories to share when their time here is done.
Make New Friends
Friendships are incredibly important during adolescence. Teen friendships help young people feel a sense of acceptance and belonging. Countless campers have created bonds that extend well past their camp experience together. By the time their camp ends, their new friends will feel more like family.
Build Your Resume
Simply put, leadership camp looks great on a resume and shows that your child spent their youth looking for opportunities to challenge themselves and get better. This also bodes well because they actually spent time training and improving on the attributes that will help them thrive in university.
