Nestled in the heart of Ohio—just 20 minutes north of Columbus—Camp Buckeye offers a beautiful, welcoming setting at a local Boy Scout camp designed for fun, growth, and adventure.

Camp Buckeye will once again begin on the last Sunday in July, continuing our mission to provide children ages 5–12 with an uplifting environment centered on living God’s way. We’re dedicated to making a positive impact in each camper’s life by encouraging meaningful friendships with peers who share the same desire to follow God’s way of life. Dorms will be organized by age to help campers feel comfortable and connected.

This year’s activity lineup includes archery, BB guns, the Amazing Race, arts and crafts, fishing, field games, and swimming—with a few exciting new options in the works! Our camp theme, shared with the teen camps, is “Follow Me.” Throughout the week, we’ll explore what it means to let God lead and guide our lives, starting from a young age.

Preteen camp plays a vital role in supporting parents as they build a solid spiritual foundation for their children. Here, campers experience God’s way in action—forming friendships, building character, and having fun while learning to live God’s way of life.
