The sound of laughter echoing through the trees, the splash of paddles on the water, and the rhythm of camp songs rising from dining halls—it’s official: summer camp is in full swing at Camps Chestnut Ridge, Don Lee, and Rockfish!

Across North Carolina, these three beloved camps have come alive with the energy and joy of campers embracing every moment of the season. From horseback riding and sailing to campfires and cabin bonding, children and youth are making memories that will last a lifetime.

Camp Chestnut Ridge: Joy in Every Step

At Camp Chestnut Ridge in Efland, NC, campers are already deep into the rhythms of camp life. Mornings begin with worship, songs, and silliness, followed by days filled with trail rides, zip lining through the trees, archery, and cooling off in the lake.

Cabins are buzzing with excitement as friendships form over shared meals, messy games, and moments of reflection during evening worship. Whether it’s a camper’s first summer or their fifth, the sense of belonging and joy at Chestnut Ridge is unmistakable.

Camp Don Lee: Sailing, Sunshine, and Spiritual Growth

On the NC coast, Camp Don Lee is alive with the hum of boats skimming across the Neuse River. Campers are learning to sail, catch their first fish, and soak up every sun-filled moment on the waterfront.

Evenings are marked by peaceful sunset devotions and songs under the stars. From the adventure of the group challenge course to the quiet beauty of a kayak at dusk, Don Lee is offering campers the perfect mix of fun, challenge, and spiritual connection.

Camp Rockfish: High Energy, Big Smiles

In Parkton, NC, Camp Rockfish is buzzing with energy. Campers are climbing walls, flying through the air on the high ropes, and canoeing through the lake with huge smiles on their faces.

Rockfish is all about trying new things—and every day brings a new adventure. The supportive, faith-centered environment makes it a place where campers feel safe, encouraged, and celebrated as children of God.

Camp Magic Is Happening Now

Across all three camps, one thing is clear: the magic of summer is happening right now. Campers are growing more confident, making new friends, unplugging from screens, and reconnecting with nature and God. Whether it’s their first camp experience or a cherished annual tradition, kids are thriving—and the summer is just getting started.
