Nestled in the heart of nature, Camp Tanda stands out as a cherished retreat where individuals and families can deepen their connection with God while enjoying the great outdoors. Established in 1947 by a dedicated group of Christian men and women from the Churches of Christ, this campground has become a beloved destination for worship, fellowship, and recreation. Over the decades, it has welcomed numerous non-profit organizations, schools, scout troops, and families, creating countless unforgettable memories.
Our Mission
At Camp Tanda, our mission is to serve the Kingdom by providing a welcoming space for believers to cultivate a deeper relationship with God. Our Board of Directors is committed to ensuring a safe and comfortable environment where guests can engage in recreation, fellowship, and worship amidst the stunning natural beauty that surrounds us.
For more than 70 years, we have been transforming lives and creating lasting memories, particularly for children during our Summer Camps. From small families enjoying a weekend cabin stay to larger groups like churches, scouts, and schools renting the entire camp for a week, we strive to offer a memorable experience in a family-friendly atmosphere centered on faith.
Our Vision
To create life-changing and positive experiences for children; to learn about Jesus Christ and the salvation that comes through obeying Him; and developing Christ-like characters which will positively impact our society and touch more lives by spreading the gospel to and loving others.
