Join us at Sugar Creek for our traditional family camp program! At Sugar Creek, we welcome all ages and family make-ups; though, most activities are geared toward elementary aged youth and older. Our program is designed as intentional, fun, faith-forming, FAMILY TIME! Our dynamic staff will lead all the fun camp activities as well as host your family.
