For over 71 years LSCA has provided a summer Christian camping program for all age groups of young people in the Springfield, IL area. The camp has always placed a strong emphasis on quality summer camp programming for young people. Children need a place where they can be taught the life-changing message of Jesus Christ, respond to the call for salvation in Him, and be challenged to enter specialized Christian Service. Over the past ten years the camp average has been about 850-900 campers per year in our summer sessions. Of those nearly 20% have no affiliation with an independent Christian Church. Over that same time span we have witnessed over 400 baptisms of young people into Christ. Campers have joined in spreading the message of Jesus throughout the world by sharing over $75,000 with our camp missionaries over that same time span.

In order to be a vital part of area churches’ ministries, LSCA makes available a quality facility for their utilization. Through the camp facilities area churches have the opportunity to offer their own programs and activities designed to meet the needs of their members. Throughout the year, LSCA also hosts numerous retreats and church activities. Over the past twelve months alone we have hosted one hundred and thirty-six (136) retreats. In those events seven thousand four hundred individuals (7458) benefited from the facilities LSCA has to offer.
