Camp Discovery

Camp Discovery Family, Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, our board members have made the decision to NOT open Camp Discovery for the 2020 season. While we are sad to make this decision, the board members had the campers', counselors', and families' best interests at heart. We are so grateful that each of you are part of our family, and we look forward to seeing you next summer. God bless! We love and miss you all! Sincerely, Alexandria Benson... Director See more

Good afternoon, Camp Discovery Family, I wanted to personally update you on the future of Camp Discovery. As of now, NO decisions have been made on whether or not the camp will open up or not due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Our wonderful board members will be looking into different options, and will be making a decision soon about the summer of 2020. The staff at Camp Discovery wanted to also inform you that the likelihood of having a pool this summer is small. Althoug...h we may not have a pool, our staff is brainstorming incredible ideas that will keep your camper intrigued and engaged for a summer full of fun! We have not opened up our registration yet due to the uncertainties of the future; however, if you are interested or plan to send your child to Camp Discovery, please LIKE or COMMENT on this post. We want to look at the numbers for this summer and plan accordingly. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us!! Sincerely, Camp Discovery

We are jumping into week 6 at Camp Discovery! We still have spots open for each group, so encourage your friends to come check us out!!

We loved having Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church and Christian Adventures Youth Ministries at our camp yesterday!! They were awesome!

Today we had First Baptist Church Du Quion's youth group serve at our camp! Matthew Schaub, former Camp Discovery counselor, brought his youth group to make slime, play dough, and bouncy balls and play kickball. This amazing group also cleaned our facilities. Everyone loved discovering, exploring, and growing together! A huge thank you to these young people for spending your day with us, and please come back again!!

We loved our puppet show yesterday!!!

Week 8 has kicked off. Our campers love morning game time and our wonderful counselors received words of encouragement from First Baptist Church of Du Quion! Happy Tuesday!

Miss Emily is at Shorter University preparing for her senior year as an education major. Miss Leanne recently graduated from Dalton State College, and she will start her first job teaching at Stone Creek Elementary School! We are so proud of these two ladies and wish them the best of luck in all of their endeavors.
