What Goes on at Cascades During the Summer Months?

• Camp Timber Rock welcomes hundreds of Middle School and High School aged campers each summer who laugh, swim and play all week. They are challenged by the truth of God's word, inspirational speakers and meaningful Bible studies. They also witness Christ's love lived out in counselors and staff.

These campers experience traditional camp activities like arts and crafts, archery, fun in singing songs around the campfire, and draw inspiration from God revealed through counselors and staff.
