Hello, I would like to take a moment and welcome you to the Camp Joy Campsite. I trust you will be able to find information on our website that will be informative and helpful.

Camp Joy is a ministry that proclaims the truth of the Bible without apology. Our stands on godly dress, music and powerful preaching are what many churches and families are looking for today. Camp Joy stands without compromise on the truths of God’s Word. The facilities are clean and safe. The atmosphere is wholesome, as we try to eliminate as many worldly distractions as possible. Our motto is “Fun with a Purpose” – describing our program packed with fun and exciting elements like Ski Nautique ski boats on 650 acres of beautiful Whitewater Lake, our own private island which can be an adventure for young explorers, horseback riding, a 700’ cable ride, our 275’ super slide, play grounds and many other exciting activities. We have lots of fun, but that fun is for a purpose. We know that the fun games, excellent food and exciting recreation are all tools used to prepare the grounds of man’s heart to receive the seed of God’s Word.

Although we have much fun, our primary focus is the faithful preaching of the Word of God, consistent devotional time and Christ-honoring music. Camp Joy is a wonderful place where the “greenhouse effect” of God’s Word helps change lives for His glory.

Please take a moment to learn more about Camp Joy – what many have called the best-kept secret in the Mid West.
