Kingdom Come

Saddle up for Summer 2026 at Camp Barnabas! This year, our theme is “In the Wilderness.” We're seeking out God's truth in a world full of challenges, and we want you to join us for an unforgettable summer gliding down the zipline, splashing in the waterpark, reconnecting with camp friends, meeting new ones, and learning about how God provides for us in the wilderness!

Our memory verse this summer comes from Isaiah 43:19:

The wilderness is a powerful and recurring theme throughout the Bible. It’s more than just a physical place—it’s where people faced testing, encountered God, and learned to depend completely on Him. In the wilderness, we may be removed from distractions, comfort, and control, but we are never removed from God’s presence. Even when we feel alone or forgotten, God is with us. He uses seasons of trial, silence, and wandering to shape our character, strengthen our faith, and prepare us for what’s next. The wilderness was never meant to be our final home. Through Jesus, who faced His own wilderness and overcame it, we are invited into a life of abundance and restoration. Jesus is the way through the wilderness and the bridge that leads us home.

We’ll have four nights of parties filled with games, dancing, and theme-filled fun. Costumes are encouraged but not required. We’ve included a few ideas to help plan for packing.
