The Camp Omega Story
Welcome to Camp Omega on the Lake!
In short – Camp Omega is all about RELATIONSHIP … about INTENTIONAL time in a QUITE PLACE … a place for children, teens, adults, families, congregations, and communities to grow in relationship with Christ…a place for campers young and old to DISCOVER & REDISCOVER what life in Jesus is all about.
Camp Omega is COMMITTED to being a place where ministry and intentional relationships meet and GROW. Camp is a place where individuals and groups can get away to a quiet place and REST awhile, just as Jesus encouraged His disciples in Mark 6:31, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
Camp Omega PROMISES to leave indelible, life-changing spiritual mark on the hearts of God’s people, as campers of ALL AGES encounter creation…create community…and COMMUNE with CHRIST in this special place.
