I have been a camper here for six years, and this year I came back to be a staff member. I love Camp Siloam more than anywhere, there is no place I would rather spend my summer.
Here at camp, you really feel so much closer to God than in your daily life, and that really helps when it comes to learning more about Him. Camp Siloam is truly an amazing place to feel God's, to learn about God, to grow closer to God, to see God work in the lives of hundreds and thousands of children and youth, and to experience God working in your own life.
On top of all of that, Camp Siloam is great fun anyways.
- Kids get lots of open rec in the afternoons where they can play games like gaga ball, basketball, table tennis, 9-square, and foosball.
- The Hub is a great, air-conditioned place to hang out, spend some quality time with friends or with complete strangers, grab a snack, jam out to great music, play board games, or buy a souvenir at the camp store.
- Hype is super fun, and basically is what it sounds like: it's hype! There's lots of hyped up music and dancing around at first, there's a video montage of yesterday, bible verse raps (which are pretty great), a minute-to-win-it game, and the MC's explain the rules for the Color Wars game for the day.
-There are morning and evening Worship times every day with amazing speakers and an even better worship band. It seems like there is constant rejoicing here at camp because there's almost always somebody learning the truth and being saved and ringing the bell to tell the world "I have accepted Christ in my life".

These are some of the highlights, but there are so many little things and so much that happens behind the scenes that makes this camp what it is. I don't really see how anybody could come to this camp and not want to come back next year.
