An Unforgettable Encounter with Jesus

Summer is a time for exploration, growth, and joy, and there’s no better place to experience all of this than at Camp Ichthus in the picturesque Palmerton, PA! Our summer camp is more than just a destination; it’s a transformative journey where kids and teens, aged 5-17, can step outside their daily routines and into an intimate community rooted in faith and friendship.

Engaging Activities Fueled by Faith

The Heartbeat of Our Program

At Camp Ichthus, we strive for each camper to encounter Jesus in a meaningful way. Each week culminates in transformative experiences that allow campers to explore who Jesus is and how His teachings impact their lives. From heartfelt worship sessions filled with music and praise to small group discussions under the stars, we cultivate sacred moments that encourage spiritual awakening.

Daily devotionals help campers reflect on their personal journeys and their relationship with God. Our Bible studies are designed to be interactive and relatable, using stories, discussions, and prayers that resonate with young hearts. Through these practices, we invite campers to ask questions, share their stories, and experience the love of Jesus in profound ways.

Something Special Under the Stars

As day turns to night, Camp Ichthus comes alive with our thrilling night games! Under a starlit sky, campers engage in exciting team challenges and capture-the-flag style adventures that foster camaraderie, encourage teamwork, and create memories to cherish. It’s during these playful moments that friends deepen their connections, laughter fills the air, and tales are made to last a lifetime.
