What happens when campers spend a week at Pathfinder Lodge? They discover amazing things—about themselves, about God, and about the world around them. Here, they experience God’s love in a powerful way, growing in courage, confidence, and faith. And yes, it’s a whole lot of fun! Overnight camping ignites a journey of self-discovery, challenging campers to explore their capabilities and embrace their unique purpose in God’s plan.
Welcome to our 79th year of outdoor ministry at Pathfinder Lodge!
