The Outdoor Ministry Team of the Christian Church in Indiana has made the decision to cancel summer camp for 2020. The decision was made in consultation with our partner camps, the Geneva Camp and Conference Center and the Bedford Camp and Conference Center, and our camp directors.
Taking into account the multitude of ways camp would have to be altered to comply with the guidelines of the CDC, the State of Indiana, and the American Camp Association, we have concluded that for the safety of all the campers, staff and volunteers our summer camp programs this year should not go forward.
We know this is disappointing news. Camp plays a significant role in faith development. And while we all grieve this decision, we believe it to be consistent with our commitment to care for all of God’s people.
We hold expectation and hope that camp will resume as normal in the summer of 2021.
For those who have already registered for camp this year we would like to offer these REFUND and DONATION OPTIONS:
- Donate all paid fees to the Geneva Camp and Conference Center or Bedford Camp and Conference Center. This would greatly assist our camps and help them to continue to operate on a year-round basis. Both camps have lost all rentals for this summer. You will receive a donation receipt.
- Donate a portion of paid fees, receive a partial refund or 2021 credit for the rest. This option helps in the same way as above providing some much-needed revenue to assist our camps. You can specify what amount you would like to donate and what amount you would like refunded back to your original payment method.
- Carryover all fees to 2021. General registration will open in early 2021 and fees paid in 2020 will be applied to 2021 fees.
- Full refund. Your refund will be paid back to your original payment method.
To indicate your preference, please email:

Sandy Kincaid, sandy@indianadisciples.org for Bedford registrations.
