Benediction
May Benevolence - Camp Lebanon
Our Mission
“To provide an opportunity for individuals to live in a natural outdoor setting and in relationship with others in Christian community; to grow in awareness of God as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ; and to be invited to respond in Christian faith and love through commitment, growth and renewal.”
Summer 2020 was a rough time for everyone but Camp Lebanon found ways to continue its mission in the midst of a global pandemic. Check out this video of Summer 2020
Summer 2021 will have limited camp opportunities. Read about it here.
In order to keep camp affordable for families at all income levels, Camp Lebanon does not charge the full cost of attending camp. Instead, it relies on the generous support of people like you.
Congregational Meeting
