Each summer IBSA partners with local Baptist associations to host camps for children and youth to enjoy high-energy games and activities along with Bible study and worship. And many will make professions of faith in Christ.
This year’s theme is “The Good Life,” based on Matthew 5:1-11. Michael Awbrey, IBSA Leadership Development Director, explained the theme, “Everyone is seeking a good life, but the way most seek happiness and fulfillment in life leaves them disappointed and unfulfilled. In the Beatitudes, Jesus shows us the upside-down way happiness is found.”
Both IBSA facilities, Lake Sallateeska and Streator Baptist Camps, will host multiple week-long summer camps. Camp dates and locations are listed below. Registration is open at IBSA.org/camps.
