Escape the Ordinary, Find Adventure and Faith at Rock River Bible Camp

Life today is overwhelming for kids and teens. They’re bombarded with screens, distractions, and a world that’s constantly pulling them away from the things that matter most. Parents feel the pressure too, wondering if their kids are missing out on the joy of real connection, adventure, and faith.

Our camp provides a safe, fun, and faith-filled environment where campers can explore the outdoors, make lasting friendships, and grow closer to Jesus.
