Three Night Camp

Genesis camp is designed to be an introduction to summer camp ministry and prepares children for longer week-long summer camps once they’ve reached JYF/Junior Camp age. Our 1st-3rd graders get a shorter camp experience for their first time at "sleepaway" camp! This camp will be filled with tons of opportunities to learn about camp and grow in faith while making new friends with each other.

Monday-Friday Overnight Camp

JYF stands for Junior Youth Fellowship. Junior Camp is for 3rd-5th graders. Campers engage in thematic activities that help them experience God and learn about how to follow Jesus. There's tons of fun, faith and friendship packed into this week of camp! We cannot wait to share camp with them!

Monday-Saturday Overnight Camp

Chi Rho Campers (completed 6th-8th grade) will be living the Chi Rho Life on our Creative Camp. The Chi Rho name has deep roots in the Disciples of Christ (it's the name of Middle School ministries within the denomination). It also is the name of the first two letters in Christ's name in Greek--chi and rho.

Build friendships, enjoy camp fire, play, worship, and have fun together as you grow in faith together!s on

Chi Rho is held on our Creative Camp, unless otherwise noted.

6th & 7th graders

Sunday-Saturday Overnight Camp

(Grade 6-7) - AKA "Just Say Know" Camp is designed to teach campers about spirituality and sexuality through a wonderful Christian curriculum. Truly a unique camp experience that Disciples Crossing has been able to offer for over 30 years. Formerly known as "Eighters" and included campers who had just finished 8th grade, we now offer this important camp experience to a slightly younger age group.

For years, the Programming Committee at Disciples Crossing discussed the need for this topic to be taught to a younger age group. The committee chose to change the camp's name to Imago Dei meaning "Image of God" (previously known as Eighters). In 2021, the decision was made to augment the experience and engage 6th & 7th graders at this camp. The decision was not made lightly. It was made with huge amounts of prayer, discussion, and facts. The Programming Committee is working with Just Say Know to make any changes/adaptations to the curriculum that we need to for our 6th & 7th grade campers to have a positive, informative, prayerful, and playful week of camp.

This camp takes place on the creative side of camp.
