Church & Ministry Partners at Lakeside Bible Camp

Partnership is at the heart of Lakeside Bible Camp. We are thankful for the churches and ministries who walk alongside us to share the gospel, strengthen families, and disciple the next generation. This page is both an invitation to partner with Lakeside and a celebration of those who already do.

Who Partners with Lakeside

We are grateful for the churches and ministries that choose to link arms with us. From small hometown congregations to larger regional churches, our partners all share the same heart - to see lives transformed by the gospel.

Together, we get to be part of a bigger story than any of us could write on our own.

Why Partner with Lakeside

For generations, God has been using Lakeside Bible Camp to draw people closer to Him. From kids hearing the gospel for the first time to families reconnecting and leaders growing in their faith, Lakeside is a place where lives are changed. We can’t do this alone. Ministry partners help make it possible for us to keep pointing people to Jesus year after year.

Partnership looks different for each church or ministry. Some send campers and leaders each summer. Others help financially, bring volunteer teams, or provide resources and prayer.

However it takes shape, partnership with Lakeside is about relationship - walking together so the body of Christ is strengthened and the next generation is reached.

What Partnering with Lakeside Means

The Impact of Partnership

When campers are baptized in the lake, when a child memorizes Scripture for the first time, when a high schooler steps into leadership - those are moments your church shares in as a partner.

Every story of life change is part of your legacy too.

Ministry Partner FAQs

  • Churches, ministries, schools, and other organizations are welcome to plan retreats, conferences, and group getaways during the fall, winter, and spring seasons during available weekends. Private events such as weddings are not available at camp at this time.

  • Guest groups are hosted during the non-summer months (September through May). Summer is reserved for Lakeside Bible Camp’s youth and family camps.

  • Our cabins and facilities can house up to 120 campers plus staff comfortably, making it a great fit for both small and larger groups.

  • Groups stay in rustic, cozy cabins equipped with bunk-style beds. Leaders and families may have access to additional housing options depending on availability.

Every group has a different vision for their time away—whether it’s building community, deepening faith, or simply enjoying a change of pace. At Lakeside, we’ll work with you to make sure your retreat is meaningful, memorable, and easy to plan.
