Camp Maranatha

05/05/2026

We are officially three weeks away from our Summer Staff arriving for Staff Training Week!! Throughout the next three weeks, we'll be highlighting our Summer Staff so you can learn more about them! We'll kick this off with the Camp Director, Jeff Babbs and his wife, Shelby Babbs!

We are stepping into our eleventh summer as Camp Directors! Camp Ministry is our passion and we love seeing the impact Camp Maranatha has on its campers! We enjoy reconnecting with campers each year and making new campers feel welcomed and excited. We believe every child should get to experience camp and we will work with parents and families to ensure each camper has a great experience. If you have questions or concerns, be sure to reach out - we'd love to chat with you!

Check out the blue circles below for Jeff's "this or that" picks and the purple circles for Shelby's picks!

There's still time to register your child for summer camps! Head over to www.campmaranatha.org to register! Financial assistance is available - if you are in need please contact us!

It was a beautiful day for a wedding!

We were so thrilled to host Allison and James for their special day. Allison was a camper here for many years and we were honored that she wanted her big day to be at camp. One of the best parts of the night was watching the bridal party go down the big slide!

Congratulations to Allison and James! Praying blessings over your marriage.

This weekend was so, so special. It was so special that it is hard to find the words for this post. 79 women gathered together for the Women's Retreat this weekend. They gathered to worship, to fellowship, to pray, to laugh, to cry, to share.. and it was all so beautiful.

Thank you to all of our speakers who prepared such incredible, moving sessions and to all the other volunteers who put in so much work to help make this weekend run so smoothly. Our hearts are full and we are so grateful. God is good. 🙌

Ladies, don't miss out on the next one - mark your calendar now for April 2nd-3rd, 2027!
