Our theme verses are Matthew 20:26-28: "It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Junior and Senior campers sleep in different dorms, are taught different lessons, but eat meals and swim (gender segregated) together. Our swim time in the lake is supervised by at least one trained lifeguard and counselors.

Facilities
Camp Emmanuel is an association that leases a facility; we do not own our own campground. Since 2014, we have met at Yellow Creek Lake Camp in Claypool, Indiana.
Find us on Facebook: Click HERE for more photos and recent comments!
Yellow Creek Lake Camp is a large, full-service camp with beach, zip lines, archery range, game room, and short hiking trail. We lease this camp for one week annually to conduct Camp Emmanuel. Camp Emmanuel is a separate organization.

Camp Registration
Campers must be from participating churches or guests of those churches (they require a Camp Pastor's signature).
Please do not register for Camp Emmanuel through Yellow Creek Lake Camp. You must register using the Camp Emmanuel forms that will be provided on this site when available. Forms will also be available through participating churches.

About Us!
Camp Emmanuel Is...
1.) A great spiritual, social, recreational, and fun experience with new and old friends in a tried and tested environment.
​
We've been continuously operating since 1946, and we have a lot to offer youth between ages 9 through high school. We are firmly committed to the truth of God's Word. For many youth, Camp Emmanuel is the highlight of their entire year!
​
2.) The result of Bible-oriented local churches working together for the common growth of Christian youth and sharing the Gospel with those who have not yet come to faith in Jesus Christ.
​
3.) A faith-based ministry. Camp Emmanuel is free to qualified campers and supported by participating churches and individual contributions.To qualify, campers must meet a church attendance requirement, memorize the Romans Road verses from the Bible, and acquire the signature of a camp -involved pastor by the deadline date. Campers may also be guests of supporting churches. See registration form for details.
​
Camp Emmanuel is not a location but a Christian organization. In recent years, our Bible Camp leases Yellow Creek Lake Camp in Claypool, Indiana for one week. Although the campground is owned by the Church of God denomination, the Camp Emmanuel Association is made up on independent/non-denominational churches. We appreciate their willingness to lease out the camp for this week.
​
