Hidden Acres camping and conference ministry conducts youth camps in the summer and retreats/conferences year-round for adults, singles, families, couples, churches, civic, business, and educational groups.   

Our annual youth camps and retreats with Biblical-based programming are open to anyone regardless of church affiliation.  We have summer camps for those in going into Kindergarten through 12th grade.
