  • SUMMER 2021Register TODAY!

  • WELCOMESince 1972 New Life Bible Camp has been a place of fun, friendships, and spiritual growth. Summer Camp 2021 will continue in that tradition. At the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, surrounded by rolling hills, our summer theme will come alive. Mount Zion will be the focus of our theme for this summer. While Mount Zion is miles away in Israel, our hearts will be pointed in that direction, while our feet will walk, run, hike, and bike all over our mountains here in Buffalo Mills.

    When you attend New Life, you’ll develop amazing friendships. From cabin-mates to counselors; the activities, free time, meals, and meetings are so much better because of the people joining you. Now, more than ever before, silly and serious conversations are so important. Camp gives space for those conversations. Proverbs 18:24 speaks that a friend is very important to each one of us. So many of these deep friendships have begun at New Life.

    As was the case when New Life began, we will spend time in God’s Word. Your time at New Life will include Bible Studies, devotions, and evening meetings that will help to give you tools to know Christ and to learn to walk in His path. Just as a flashlight gives you help in illuminating the trail, God's Word gives us instructions on how to walk through life (Psalms 119:105). Whether you choose to attend Day Camp, Camp Kainos, or Adventure Camp, you will experience awesome camp fun, rewarding friendships, and a focus on your spiritual walk with Christ. Join us at New Life this summer!

    Camp Kainos is the residential program of New Life Bible Camp. Campers will spend the week with caring counselors who lead them in fun activities and teach them principles of the Kingdom of God. Kainos campers will enjoy spending time outdoors being awed by God's creative wonders as they participate in games, hikes, activities, optional campouts and worship around a campfire. Inside, the fun doesn't end with a gameroom, gymnasium, common areas, delicious meals in our dining room, and memorable times in the cabins. Counselors are trained to ensure the safety of the campers and lead them in daily Bible studies, which will be based on the Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5-7. At Camp Kainos, we want the campers to understand the truth of the Gospel in such a way that it impacts their life away from camp all year long. Don't wait too long to register, we want your child to climb to new heights in their relationship with the Lord.

    Frequently Asked ?s

    Mount Zion is an earthly representation of the heavenly home of the believer. To clear a path of salvation, Jesus paid our sin debt on a mount at Calvary. Before His death, burial and resurrection, Jesus taught on a mountain near Galilee to his disciples and those that came to hear Him. Jesus taught about how to live a life pleasing to God and that teaching became known as the Sermon on the Mount. Throughout scripture, we see mountains being important. This summer our theme will guide us in climbing physical mountains as well as connecting campers to essential biblical truth that will grow their faith. We are excited to be able to lead them on this upward journey to the high calling of Jesus.

    How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” Isaiah 52:7Scholarships
