For all sorts of people around Washington, Idaho, the US and the world, spending a week or two out at Camp Cross in the summer can’t be beat. At Camp not only will you have all the usual crazy fun that makes summer camp incredible, you will also be welcomed into a Camp-wide community of 30-80 youth making friends in cabins, small groups, and just hanging out on the docks. At Camp Cross we are committed to Christian formation grounded in mentoring and modeling how to live out our faith in community. We strive to create a joyful, accepting, and faithful community where trust and not passing judgment are the norm. This gives youth a unique opportunity, amidst a life full of peer pressure and judgment, to try and find their authentic self. Camp Cross welcomes you.

• 7:30 Have a cup of hot cocoa and sit by the lake in the morning.
