Camp Wagner invites inner-city youth to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and experience the beauty of nature in a safe, encouraging, and exciting rural environment!
Camp Wagner is a home away from home for so many. Kids get the chance to step away from screens and city streets and step into a world of fresh air, outdoor exploration, and lifelong friendships. It is always amazing to see when the simple yet splendid display of God’s hand in nature captivates all attention. A night sky filled with stars so numerous, big and bright you can hear gasps of wonder and excitement. Or the silence around the camp at night that many campers often never experienced in the hustle and bustle of the big cities.
Camp Wagner has been a unique space that creates a change of pace and environment for many of our campers. One of the major factors that motivate the staff is we get to partner with God and be conductors of His grace and mercy. Junior Camp has proven itself as place where many of our young people make decisions in baptism to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Junior Camp this year is titled “War of a Lifetime.” We strive to make the Bible come alive so our campers can take ownership for their personal walk with God, while still having an amazing time. This year’s camp will be full of fun activities such as skating, playing laser tag, driving go-karts, swimming and other fun activities. Sign up for summer camp is open for children ages 8–16; the dates are June 15-22, 2025. Please visit www.lrcyouth.com for more information.
Earl Baldwin Jr. is the youth director for Lake Region Conference.
