Camp Mowana is a place apart from the busy lifestyle of today where campers experience the love of Christ in focused and prayerfully-directed programs that emphasize the joy of our faith. Mowana prides itself in specifically chosen activities that have been developed over its 50 year history, offering opportunites for a wide variety of age ranges and backgrounds. Summer Camp season is especially popular as children love the wacky counselors and zany games. Silly songs, campfires, healthy and nutritious meals, hikes, cabins, and wildlife all await the eager expectations of our campers!

Camp Mowana is where the light of Christ shines through!
