Father/Son Adventure

This adventure weekend is full of outdoor fun at Adventure Camp on the property of New Life Bible Camp and also offsite at other locations. The delicious meals, beautiful surroundings, fellowship, and fun activities will all create a satisfying weekend. We will use God's Word to guide us in our devotional times throughout the weekend. Both father and son will be encouraged to live more like Christ. Please contact the camp if you have any questions about the weekend.
