"The
purpose of Great Rivers Region camping is to bring children, youth, and
adults a step closer to Christ."
Lake Springfield
Baptist Camp is located in Central Illinois, just South of Springfield. The
camp, situated on Lake Springfield, provides summer camping programs and
facilities for conferencing and retreats for the whole region. The lodge
and cabins provide housing and services for approximately 125 people. A
variety of water sports are offered - boating, canoeing, paddleboats, and
swimming. Provision is made for indoor and outdoor games as well as crafts
of many kinds. The camp also offers winterized facilities that can
accommodate 50 people overnight.
In 2007, Aaron &
Callie Stanley became the new managers for Lake Springfield. Both have
hands-on experience as camping staff and volunteering at LSBC. Callie has
spent the past 4 years as the Assistant Manager under Kathy Hutchins, and
last year Aaron spent the fall living at the camp prior to their wedding.
The couple was married in Lightbody Conference Center in December and
currently attend Cherry Hills Baptist Church. They look forward to sharing
their passion for camping with students and adults alike! |
