Lake View Camps

Lake View Camps are awesome! Camps for all ages – even grandparent/grandchild camps! Registration opens Monday, Feb. 2 at 9am.  

We highly value the Christian camping experience, and because of this, Cedar Hills will pay for half of one camp this summer for members of Cedar Hills to ensure finances are not a barrier between you being able to go.

Use transfer code 2026Cedar when registering.

Some camps are very popular (Elementary and Grandparent camps!) so we recommend registering as early as possible to ensure you can attend.
