2025 Summer Youth Camps

See You Next Summer!

Since 1946, campers of all ages have been making memories to last a lifetime at Camp Zion, near the northernmost tip of the beautiful Door County, Wisconsin peninsula.

Camp allows you to take a break from the pace and distractions of life, and breathe in the beauty of God’s creation. Listen to God’s voice and learn from His Word.

Enjoy unforgettable fun in community with great friends and caring staff. Discover the life-transforming power of a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Bring a friend,GET $20!

Bring a friend who has never attended a Camp Zion summer camp program and you each receive $20 credit in the canteen (non-refundable). You must both attend the same week of camp and your registration forms and payments must be received within one week of each other. Credit is applied after camper check-in, first day of camp.

Pre-Camp and Family Camp

We invite you and your family to join us for one of our Family Camps. Fun activities for families to do together!

Pre-Camp, August 1-4,

Pre-Camp is perfect for first-time and young campers, entering grade K-1. Campers attend with a parent or grandparent, and will experience the fun, games, and traditions of a regular summer camp together. Children will be better prepared to attend on their own in future years. Separate devotional times for kids and adults. Parents have as much fun as the kids!

Family Camp, August 29-September 1

Family Camp is appropriate for all ages, and will include fun activities, shared devotional times, plenty of time on the waterfront, free time in Door County, and of course, the best sunsets anywhere.

Kids consistently tell us that time spent with new & forever friends at high school camp was one of the best weeks of their lives!

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you complete the registration process ASAP, even if session is full, to get your name added to the waiting list. No deposit is needed to have your name added to the waiting list. There are no guarantees, but we typically see changes to the camper list. When a vacancy occurs, we immediately notify the next person on the waiting list, and move them onto the camper list. Hang in there!

A Note to Parents –

Camp is a place where your child can experience outdoor fun and develop meaningful relationships with other kids and adults, while in a safe, Christ- centered environment. Your child will never forget the spectacular scenery, limestone bluffs, beautiful sunsets over the bay, and star-filled nights.

We take camper safety very seriously. Caring and qualified staff members supervise campers, include them in activities, and know how to spot and deal with issues like homesickness and misbehavior. Waterfront, food service, and health services staff have appropriate and current certifications. All staff members undergo initial background checks, annual application reviews, and training in child protection policies. Camp Zion is licensed by the State of Wisconsin as a Recreational/Educational Camp.
