For many, camp begins with Epic. And what follows is SALT. A call to stand out and live an unmistakably different life.

SALT will challenge campers spiritually and physically while giving them opportunities to serve and lead others. Escape the distractions of this world and experience what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus surrounded by God's creation with other believers.

Serving. Adventuring. Leading. Thriving.

Play

Hike the hills. Find truth in His Word. Soar high above the oaks. Float the river. Revel in the shadows of towering green giants. Follow Christ, the one true guide. Seek His grace. Leap with faith. Climb a mountain of a wall. Kiss a fish. Trek the backwoods. Pray to the great I AM. Listen for whispers. Canoe at sunset. Gather ‘round the bonfire under a blanket of stars. Discover deep connections to friends old and new. Journey on from here, full of faith—awakened by God’s love.

Always adventuring

STAND out

There is adventure, purpose, and lasting joy when we follow the path God has set before us.

Serving, adventuring, leading, and thriving all come together here. The first week of SALT is about community, adventure, and bonding over the truth of God’s word. The final week will focus on servant leadership and teaching through various service positions around camp. Two weeks are a big commitment, but they inspire courage for ongoing discipleship.

The experience

Camp parent

"This place has changed our son's life. The staff, the counselors, and the other campers all love, encourage, and challenge each other. Sending our son here for the last 5 years has been the best decision we ever made!"

Camp parent

"This summer, I sent five kids to Deer Creek Camp, and all five cried when they left. They loved their counselors, their friends, and the experience itself. They are genuine Christians with whom you can trust your children. We will be back next year for sure."

Camp parent

"The truly loving, Godly atmosphere is contagious and my kids come back fired up for the Lord!!"

Camp parent

"We have been sending our 3 kids for 7 years for one of them and 5 for the other 2. It is something that gets them through the year in great anticipation of camp!"

Camp parent

"Our daughter was eager to try a summer camp and I wanted it to be faith based so when I did some research Deer Creek looked great. And now, 2 years later it is the thing our daughter looks forward to the most every summer."

Camp parent

“When my children came home, they were more appreciative of their family. They also started to seek out time for God everyday, and became more respectful toward each other!”

Camp parent

"We have recently moved out of Texas but will still send our children to Deer Creek! The truly loving, Godly atmosphere is contagious, and my kids come back fired up for the Lord!"
