★★★★★Callie SchwingelI love Lake Aurora more than words can describe. It’s a community cultivated through fun activities, beautiful sights, and people who love Jesus. I’ve found home in Lake Aurora that can’t be found anywhere else.
★★★★★Jennifer HorneI’ve been coming to Lake Aurora since I was a kid, and now my kids go here. It’s their absolute favorite part of their summer every year and we plan our other summer activities around camp. Such a wonderful camp to make lifelong memories and friends at. I love how they passionately pursue Christian truth and having a relationship with the Lord. The retreats are awesome too! Staff is incredible, and it’s a comfortable place to stay. There’s something truly **magical** about this place.
★★★★★Sarah BurgosWe love Lake Aurora CC. My son has gone there 2 yrs in a row and has always had a blast- he looks forward to it so much each summer. My husband also went with my older son on a father-son weekend and had a great time together. Everyone there is so kind and loving. It is super fun, and the boys say they love the food (which is saying something!). I highly recommend this camp. So happy we found this place!!
★★★★★Christian VivasIt was my son first experience volunteering for camp and he loved it. The staff were very attentive and helpful. He was very encouraged by the devotionals and the fellowship. He learned many lessons and very important work disciplines. Thanks for making a great experience for him.
★★★★★Amanda ShirleyI absolutely love sending my children here every summer! They always have such a great time and come home with the best memories. Not only do they have fun and make new friends, but they also build important team building skills along with so many other valuable lessons that camp has to offer. It’s truly a wonderful experience for them year after year! Best of all, they continue to grow their relationship with God.
