Why Camp?
Why We Do Chapter Camp
Chapter Camp is about getting away—stepping out of the noise, schedules, and distractions of everyday life so we can slow down and breathe. It’s a chance to rest, reset, and make space to connect with God in deeper, more intentional ways.
It’s also one of the best ways to start the summer—building and deepening friendships, sharing life together, and discovering what God might want to grow in us over the months ahead. When we leave campus and go together, something shifts: faith becomes personal, community becomes real, and summer starts with purpose.

Welcome to Forest Springs
Forest Springs Camp & Conference Center has been a place where people come to grow, rest, and encounter God for decades. Surrounded by the beauty of north-central Wisconsin, it’s a space to unplug, be present, and let creation slow you down while you engage deeply with God’s Word.
You’ll be welcomed by a staff that truly cares and is there to serve you well, creating an environment where relationships can grow and memories are made. It’s the kind of place where faith feels more real, community feels more connected, and moments stick with you long after camp ends.
Recreation
Free time isn’t filler—it’s fuel.
We build recreation into the schedule because camp is meant to be lived, not just attended. Whether it’s the lake, the field, the court, the trails, or late-night laughs with friends, these moments matter. Joy, play, competition, and rest are part of how we experience God and build real community.
Some of the best conversations won’t happen in a session—they’ll happen on a dock, during a game, or walking back to your cabin. Free time gives space for friendships to deepen, walls to come down, and faith to become personal.
Camp should feel alive. And that includes running, resting, laughing, and making memories you’ll still be talking about months from now.
