Special Events

Camp Charis has activities for you and your family throughout the year. Check the schedule and choose the events that interest you and get involved!

Weekend Sessions are for campers and teens who don’t want to wait until next summer to see their friends and have fun at camp. It is also an excellent way for new campers to get a taste of Camp Charis. Sessions run from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon.

Camp Charis Family Appreciation BBQ gives us the opportunity to say thank you to supporters, camp families, sponsors, volunteers, and friends. We also look back over the past camp year to give God the thanks and glory for what He has accomplished.
