Summer Camp
Summer Camp

Each year in June, First Baptist Church hosts a camp for elementary and junior high students at the beautiful Twin Lakes Bible Camp near Manson, Iowa.  The camp is led and staffed by First Baptist Church members who have a heart for children and desire to see each grow in their relationship with Christ Jesus.

The focus of the camp is worship and teaching from God’s Word all while encouraging campers to grow in their dependency on Christ and to find their identity in Him.  With 5 separate teaching sessions, campers are challenged through the message, transformed through worship, and left in awe of Christ the Savior of the world.
