High School Camps

Are you a high schooler wanting the ultimate camp experience? Our week-long traditional camp session is specially designed for teenagers. Meet new friends, explore your faith, and make memories that last a lifetime. Conquer your fear of heights on the high ropes course, soak up views of the lake while paddle boarding, practice your aim at archery, and much more! Each group will set their own pace and activities, with plenty of time to just chill and soak it all in.

Enjoy God’s creation in the dark--with stargazing, worshiping around a campfire, glow in the dark night games, and much more! Campers will get to stay up later and sleep in later, as we adopt a schedule for the week that some teens just wish the whole world ran on. Experience your favorite activities during the day AND by the light of the moon--as well as Night Owl only activities that no other camp session gets to do. Don't howl...just register!

Adventure Trek was one of our most popular camps last year and a great option for any middle or high schooler. We will spend some time paddling, hiking, climbing--who knows what the adventure will be? Our campers will split some time between our site, where they will have ample opportunities to enjoy our zip-line, glacially carved lake, and expansive woods. Then, they'll head off-site to spend some time paddling on a river, hiking a piece of the AT, and climbing on rocks.

Rides and Slides is a unique and extremely fun way to experience Johnsonburg community. Hang out at camp for the week, making friends with other middle schoolers in and out of your cabin, experiencing all the activities that help make Jburg a unique place. Then, sometime towards the end of the week, your group will hit the roller coasters at one of the amusement parks in the region! We are excited to offer this favorite camp and you won't want to miss it!

Camp is already a place that's great for creative people...so why not lean into it? MAD Camp is a favorite from the 2010s back for the first time in quite a while. You and your group will get plenty of time throughout the week to sing and play music, show off your artistic passion, and have time for improv or put a more serious show together. Don't fret, there will be plenty of time for Jburg favorites like swimming in the lake, riding the zipline, and playing gaga ball. We're looking forward to this popular session once again filling up, so register early!

Wonderfully Made is our week to celebrate our LGBTQIA+ campers and allies. With dedicated curriculum that is focused on how loving everyone is borne out in scripture, this is a unique session to support the fully diversity of God's creation. Don't forget--there's no less time to enjoy all of the summer activities that campers love at Johnsonburg! Plan to run, sing, laugh, play, boat, swim, and more!

At Johnsonburg, we believe that positive leadership is grounded in faith. During this program, you will learn how a growing faith can guide you through life’s challenges and help you navigate it all while enjoying the numerous activities that help make Johnsonburg such a unique place. This is the perfect precursor for those campers who wish to pursue leadership in their life or continue on the Leadership Training Program at Johnsonburg.

Johnsonburg's Leadership Training Program is our flagship offering for high school campers and our only two-week program in 2023. We'll explore and sharpen your leadership skills while participating in all kinds of Camp Johnsonburg activities. Some focuses include group dynamics, communication skills, personal faith development, and engagement with the year's theme. We'll put your new skills to the test by assisting with campers and other aspects of our Summer Program. The Leadership Training Program is a hallmark of Camp Johnsonburg summer programming--you won't want to miss out.
