You don’t want to miss out on the fresh fun of summer with Summer’s First Burst! This full week program will include new and old favorites that pack in the fun in the woods and the sun. These campers should expect to play forest games, find critters in the pond, watch a movie under the stars, and play the first glow in the dark gaga game of summer 2025!

 In addition, as one of our first overnight programs of 2025, these campers will be the first to experience R.O.C.K., All Camp Fun, and the 2025 overnight curriculum. Fresh out of staff training, and ready to put new and old skills to use, our counselors and volunteers will be buzzing with excitement to open overnight camp for the season! We can’t wait for Summer’s First Burst!

All Gretna Glen children and youth campers will have the opportunity to share in the camp experience filled with singing, Bible Discovery, worship, crafts, nature, swimming, boating, fishing, campfires, hiking, archery, sports, games, and much more. Each program is designed specifically to be age-appropriate, and specialized staff are trained to ensure a high-quality and well-structured program.

Our goal for all overnight campers is to create an environment where they can THRIVE:

  • Try New Experiences: Camp is great exposure to new people, news skills, and new challenges.
  • Hear Good News: We are here to share in the joy of knowing and following Jesus Christ!
  • Reset and Renew: We work hard to create a place where campers can be themselves, and rest.
  • Inspire One Another: Community experiences and culture creation are key.
  • Value Themselves: Campers learn they can do more than they thought possible.
  • Explore Possibilities: Asking questions about their faith, their future, and their world.

 This is considered a “MAINSITE” program, and the Raab Retreat Lodge is a two story lodge with bunkbed style housing and with restrooms in the building.

 Gretna Glen is accredited by the American Camp Association. To earn accreditation, Gretna Glen complies with more than 300 health, safety and program quality standards. This accreditation is vital to the safety of our campers and guests while holding us to a high standard of excellence.
