Camp Create (Family + youth Camp)

New for 2025: No more tiered pricing, but we do have a Camp Scholarship Fund! Please apply for scholarships once registration is open! Apply for scholarships here!

At Clearwater Forest each session of camp for children, youth, adults and families is rich in a variety of activities, fresh air, engaging worship, and connection building. The loving, enthusiastic and dedicated summer staff provide guidance and support for campers to take healthy risks through fun, challenging and adventurous activities. Whether its learning to paddle a sea kayak or completing the high ropes course, these activities help any camper stretch and grow in a safe Christian community. Leadership opportunities abound for all ages – from choosing daily activities, participating in planning and leading worship, to leading a cabin or quest group through the various daily activities.

If you have an emergency and need to get a hold of your camper, please contact the camp office at 218-678-2325 or office@clearwaterforest.org between 8 am-4 pm.

Please note that all week-long camps will end at 3 pm on Fridays. Families are welcome to join us for the closing program at 2!
