    Tearing Down Walls, Rebuilding Lives

    The caring community is what sets The Island apart from other youth camps. Our qualified counselors from Word of Life Bible Institute are committed to helping campers step away from life’s hardships and encounter the hope of Jesus Christ. Students who come to camp with hurts, heartache, and unhealthy habits walk away with biblical truths to help them navigate their daily lives.

    Life Change

    quote icon
    I decided to surrender my whole life to Christ. Instead of living the way of the world, seeking after temporary things, He has treasures stored up for you in heaven. And I just think that's amazing because it's not temporary!
    – Island Camper
    quote icon
    I did make a decision this week to tie my ribbon on to the cross, because I needed to fully surrender to Him, because I know that God's plan is the best plan and He will bring us into the most fulfilling life of joy.
