Gatlinburg, TN

The CCLC is the only event that brings together 50+ plus of our camps with over 220 people to one place. You will find camps of all sizes and with a great variety of programming. The opportunities to network and share are amazing.

This event is a professional gathering but to many of us it is so much more. It is a family reunion, a place to find comfort and healing, a time to prepare and pray, a time to listen and a time to speak. This event is an opportunity to recharge and get answers and to maybe grasp hold of a greater vision.

Together we offer this time to God and pray that He shape it into what each of us needs.

Bring your Board Members, Deans, Local Ministers

One of the greatest challenges as a servant in the camp ministry is developing a board that has vision, understanding and passion for the powerful tool that we have been gifted.

This year we have added some specific workshops to help board members understand their role in Christian camping. Going to any workshop will help them see better your role.

We speak of teamwork and casting a vision - what better way then to share the CCLC with the whole team
