Winter Activities
Weather permitting. Our goal is to get the kids outside each day to experience God’s winter creation to the fullest! Sometimes that looks like ice hockey in the parking lot, sledding on the tube hill, fort or snowman building or hiking out to inspiration point. Every year is a different experience, but all of it is FUN!
Sledding
When the conditions are right, expect pure joy as you launch down the tubing hill at Camas Meadows. Grab a tube, sit back, and whoosh through powdery turns. The hill is just right for big belly laughs, speedy runs, and that perfect snow spray at the finish. Warm up between rides by the fire pit with smore’s and stories, then head back up the slope for “one more”.
Ice Hockey
Hockey at Camas Meadows Winter Camp is one of those joyfully chaotic moments where mittens become goalies, snow boots become skates, and every shot is celebrated like a championship goal.
Whether you’re here for the thrill of adventure or the warmth of team games in the snow, camas hockey turns an ordinary lot into a place of fun, friendship, and unforgettable camp memories.
Snow Play
Snow days at Camas Meadows mean thick mittens, rosy cheeks, and nonstop laughter. Spend the afternoon building epic snow forts, roll the perfect snowman, or launch into a friendly snowball fight. Hot cocoa by the lodge, warm fellowship, and snowpiles as your playground, winter at Camas Meadows is the best!
Hiking
Bundle up, breathe the crisp mountain air, and trek through snow to Inspiration Point at Camas Winter Camps. Pause at the lookout and let the valley’s quiet beauty lift your spirits. Come for the snow, stay for the stillness, and leave feeling a little closer to God.

“Children who were totally new to the camp experience sang alongside kids who grew up coming to camp with their families long before they were old enough to be campers. The lodge shook as they sang together, played rowdy games of Sit Ball and Grog, and made friendships that may well last a lifetime.
Seven kids made decisions to follow Jesus and so many more were encouraged in their walk with God or even simply shown God’s love for them and that they are deeply valued no matter what they choose to believe.” - Winter Camp 2023
