Hey Mom! Still figuring out summer fun plans? We've got you covered. All sessions still have availability here at Camp Piankatank! Day camp and overnight camp options are open. Fun and faith abound here at camp.

The sweet moments connecting with nature are some of the best camp moments in a child's experience here.

Saturday was an amazing day! About 60 volunteers gathered to help us get ready for our spring and summer of ministry. Wow, we got so much done. Thank you to all of you that came out! We installed new floors in our pastors' cabin, installed new doors in our dining hall, cleaned tons of landscaping, and installed new lights in our meeting room. This is more work than we could have done on our own all year. Thank you!
If any other groups are looking for a local missions project, we always have more work to be done. Please give us a call.

The Piankatank crew was very blessed this week to attend a CCCA (Christian Camp and Conference) conference in North Carolina. We returned spiritually renewed and with lots of development ideas for the camp. Ready for another great year of ministry.
