About Bond Camp

For more than 70 years, Bond Camp has been a place where lives are changed.

Founded in 1953 through a partnership of over 30 Christian Churches, Bond was built on a simple but powerful mission—to create a space where people can step away from the noise of everyday life and encounter something deeper. That mission still drives everything we do today.

Our motto has always been:

“Where Friends Meet Jesus.”

And over the years, we’ve come to describe it another way as well:

“A Good Place Where God Does Great Things.”

Because time and time again, that’s exactly what we’ve seen happen here.

More Than a Summer Camp

What began as a summer camp has become something more.

Today, Bond Camp is a year-round retreat and ministry space designed for churches, youth groups, and communities who are looking for intentional time away—time to grow in faith, build relationships, and refocus on what matters most.

Whether it’s a student encountering Jesus for the first time, a group strengthening their relationships, or a leader finding clarity and direction, Bond Camp exists to create space for those moments to happen.

A Place Designed for Connection

Located on a multi-use outdoor campus, Bond Christian Service Camp provides a setting that naturally encourages:

Connection

with God

through distraction-free environments.

Connection

with others

through shared experiences and community

Connection

with purpose

through leadership and personal growth

From retreats and summer camps to leadership weekends and community events, everything at Bond is built to foster meaningful, lasting impact.

Built on Relationships

At its core, Bond Christian Service Camp is relational.

It's not just about programs or facilities-it's about people.

But more than anything, it's about the most important relationship of all-a growing, personal relationship with Jesus.

It's the conversations around a campfire. The friendships formed in small groups. The moments where faith becomes real and personal.

These are the experiences that last far beyond a weekend or a week.

Looking Ahead

Bond Camp is committed to being a sustainable, year-round resource for churches and organizations.

As we continue to grown, our focus remains the same:

  • Stay grounded in our mission

  • Serve more people with greater intentionality

  • Create experiences that have lasting impact

Because Bond Christian Service Camp isn't just a place you visit — It's a place where God continues to work long after you leave.
