ABOUT US
Your home away from home...
New Life Christian camp has been open in the same location since 1914. For many years we partnered with the Free Methodist Church and operated in collaboration to hold various meetings and camps on these grounds. It served as a beneficial partnership and key piece to our foundation. In 2021, we mutually ended those ties in order for us to establish the campground as a self-sustaining, non-denominational nonprofit. We now have the benefits of being an established non-profit and are able to engage with churches from other denominations as well. During these changes, the campground was renamed New Life Christian Camp Association.
Throughout our history, our main annual event has been and continues to be a family camp in July which is now called Camp Fusion. We have activities scheduled for all ages including Vacation Bible School, Youth Group, Young Adults, and Adult Bible Studies. This week is filled with fun, and we would love to have you join us!

In addition to Camp Fusion we are home to a disc golf course, the Shepherd's Inn, and several other housing accommodations.
