It’s time to register for camp!
First Baptist Church of Preston will be going to Camp Chetek for the 2025 year. Camp Chetek is a beautiful lakeside camp in Chetek, Wisconsin nestled among the towering pines stretched across 125 acres. Established in 1944, Camp Chetek has a long tradition for being a spiritual training ground for youth, and First Baptist has been proud to partner with them for summer camp over many years. Through our relationship with Camp Chetek, this beautiful place in God's creation has been a special place where the light of the Gospel has reached thousands of young people. With newly renovated cabins (including AC!) and a new Chapel Gym complex, it’s the highlight of the summer for our young people. Camp Chetek provides a unique, high-quality camping experience for each camper.
Your camper will have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of lakeside and shoreside activities. Everything from horseback riding, archery, tubing, waterskiing and even sailing are available each afternoon for our campers. A full list of camp activities is outlined below. But it’s not just about the fun; it’s also about the heart. Camp Chetek’s mission is to invest in the hearts of youth with the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ though discipleship. Campers will attend chapel each day and work on Bible studies with their counselor through out the week. This in-depth Bible study and application seeks to draw each camper’s heart closer to Christ. So mark your calendars and plan to join us this summer at Camp!
Join us as we discover the Depth of Gods Love in The Deep!
Camp Information & Cost
Camp is available for all youths that will be entering 3rd grade through 12th grade. Junior Camp week is for those campers that are entering 3rd through 7th grade while Teen Camp is for Campers entering 7th through 12th grade (7th graders have the choice of Teen or Junior weeks at camp). Our church will only be attending Junior Camp 1 from June 16th-21st and Teen Week 1 from June 23rd-28th.
The full cost for camp is $305 per camper if registered by February 23rd. However, thanks to the generous members of the First Baptist Church of Preston and God's provision for the church we will cover $125 for each camper! This means that for only $180 you receive 5 nights and 6 days of transportation, lodging, food, activities, and spiritual encouragement. That is less than the cost of most overnight hotel stays. First Baptist Church does not want anyone to be excluded from the blessings of camp so the $125 discount is available to all campers regardless of their membership at the church. If a camper has need of further financial assistance or payment plans please call the church office at 507-765-4960. We are so passionate about our youth that we don’t want cost to be the reason you miss out on a fantastic week of fun with friends and challenges from God’s word.
We are excited to have the opportunity to enjoy one of the best camps in the Midwest and look forward to having you join us for another great year at Camp Chetek.
