What Little Galilee Offers
A Christian Environment
...
Our 228 acres provide lots of room for kids to eat, sleep, learn, play,
and pray with dedicated Christian adults. The following programs are
available. Call us at at 217-935-3809 if you have any questions.
Main Camp ...
is located on rolling hills. Main Camp has three dorms housing up to 180
campers and faculty. Creative and imaginative themes dominate each week
of camp with scheduled chapel, Bible lessons, recreation, Missions, Camp
Store breaks, Campfire and much more each day. If you like to be with a
large group of campers, with indoor showers and toilet facilities,
electrical outlets and meals eaten in a Dining Hall, then Main Camp is
for you.
Main Overnight and Day
Camps ...
are an abbreviated stay for those not quite old enough and ready to be
away from home for an extended period of time. Although scheduled to
meet the needs for each age group, the daily schedule is similar to the
full Main Camp programs.
Wilderness Camp ...
is located in the middle of the woods. Two hogans house 11 boys, 11
girls and four faculty in a semi-primitive camp program. Morning
devotions begin each day and “kid friendly” games end each evening. In
between time is filled with studying God’s Word and fun outdoor
activities. If you enjoy a smaller group and a more rustic setting where
you are close to nature, then Wilderness camp is where you want to be!
Outpost Camp ...
is pitched on a secluded ridge. Two authentic 20 foot high teepees
shelter 6 boys, 6 girls, and 4 faculty. All cooking is done over an open
campfire. Wake up to the sounds of creation, with sunshine streaming
through your teepee This camp is truly an intimate experience with God’s
creation for those who love to rough it!
