Our Vision

Empowering campers and staff to bless the world through their understanding of Christian Science.

Our Mission

Cultivating individual and collective growth in Christian Science through living, playing, and learning in a natural setting with a global family.

Our Core Values

Christian Science

Through our active practice of Christian Science, we support and nurture community members' growth. This practice allows community members to see their limitless identity. It takes away false labels that are illusions of the material world. We provide a space where community members see who they truly are through reflection. Because of this, everyone has a stronger foundation in their spiritual identity when they return home.

Family

Every individual is celebrated and embraced as part of the CLC camp family, just as each child of God is embraced by Love.

Hospitality

At Crystal Lake Camps, we value hospitality because the limitless expression of generosity and selflessness leads to experiences that have a lasting impact for all who come to Crystal Lake.

Teamwork

At Crystal Lake Camps, we value teamwork because our common purpose drives our commitment towards consistently demonstrating accountability, diversity, and clarity.

Responsibility/Resourcefulness

We are responsible for our resources at Crystal Lake Camps. We understand we have tools, time, co-workers, and funding to further the mission of CLC. We take care of these so that CLC will continue to bless others long into the future. Being aware of and using our available resources is an approach we feel a duty to model and a skill community members can take with them in their individual lives.

Agape & Philos

By truly loving our neighbor (philos), we express God’s boundless love for all creation (agape)—and through this love we witness healing.
