Camp Good News is not a traditional religious or "Bible" camp. Our campers come from a variety of cultural, ethnic and religious traditions. Our goal is to introduce campers to the gospel of Jesus Christ in the midst of our high quality, state-of-the-art summer camp program.
Residential (overnight) campers live in cabins in groups of 6 or 7, divided by age and gender. The boys and girls take up residence on opposite ends of the camp, though they share the waterfront and program areas. Each cabin has 2 counselors or 1 counselor with a junior counselor. Day campers are in groups of 7 or 8 and are assigned one counselor.
