Next Level

Next Level is a camp offered to older campers ages 12-17 and is run through the Joshua House Lodge. Next Level campers are housed in dormitory-style rooms of 8 with two staff members per room. For Bible Studies and other activities, two rooms are combined together to make a group called a huddle. Next Level is an adventure-intensive camp, with a focus on activities like ziplining, white water rafting, a day at the lake, mountain biking and boarding, high ropes courses, climbing, and overnight camping. Next Level campers also participate in many Classic Camp activities, including snacking at the HUB, camp-wide games, and Lig Live. Next Level campers also revel in the luxury of air-conditioned rooms with an attached bathroom and the opportunity to spend time with other teens.

Laser Tag

Looking for a high-energy experience for your next outing? Try outdoor laser tag! Our laser taggers are able to be used at distances of up to 200 ft in broad daylight. While we have a laser tag course on property complete with bunkers and obstacles, the taggers are portable and can be used anywhere.

Team Building & Initiatives

These activities are team and trust-building activities. Typically, the team is presented with an objective, necessary restrictions, and details, and are expected to work as a team to meet said objective or goal. While serving the purpose to create a strong community among participants, these activities are fun and create wonderful memories.
Ages 8 and up.

Tree Climbing

Test your skills, either solo or with a partner, with a 40-foot climb on a gorgeous white pine.
Ages 12 and up.

High Ropes Course

Our high ropes course features a 40 ft cargo net climb, 6 main elements, and a quick jump descent from the top! It is both a challenge and a reward for everyone that completes it. Please note: there is a weight limit of 250lbs for this course.

Vomit Comet

Ready for a rush? Try the aptly named Vomit Comet: a gigantic 120-foot pendulum swing.

Participants can choose how high they are pulled up and can be clipped in the back of their harness or the front. No matter what, you're in for a great ride!
