“It was the absolute best week of my summer and I never ever want to leave!”
-Vanessa, a Junior High camper

Junior High weeks are an unforgettable experience! Campers get to encounter everything camp has to offer from the high ropes course and giant swing to extra free time and awesome day-trip options. Chapel services are filled with incredible, energetic worship and life-changing messages. As always, Junior High camp is an unplugged week! With chapels and devotions, testimonies from staff members, and conversations, campers have the opportunity to learn more about Jesus and what it means to live a life following and experience Him.

  • Sending your child to camp is a huge decision! At PLCBC, we understand the commitment, trust, and concern that comes with sending a child away for a weekend or week-long camp experience. If you, or someone you know, has any questions or concerns about the camp experience, especially for young children, watch this video, or consult the “Questions from Parents” page hear about the way Portage Lake is set up to create a safe, memorable, and fun experience for you child.
