The Illinois Great Rivers Conference camping program is an extension of the local church’s disciple-making process. Its mission is to connect people, nature, and Christ for the transformation of the world.
In fulfillment of the camping ministry's mission, programming at East Bay Camp, and Little Grassy Camp makes the most of their locations on lakes, which, along with plentiful timber, invites guests to explore God's creative genius in a leisurely manner, enjoy prolonged experiences of Christian community, forge relationships with God and others through worship, study, mealtimes, and play, and foster growing relationships with Jesus Christ. Similar experiences are facilitated at Durley Camp and Retreat Center, where our Epworth Camp experiences are held each summer.
The Illinois Great Rivers Conference camping program also provides support to the Beulah Holiness Camp in Eldorado, IL, through a covenant relationship with the Beulah Holiness Camp Association.
