The grounds are filled with fun activities for the entire family and cozy, comfortable accommodations. The counselors and staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We look forward to returning frequently throughout the year.

This camp is unique. Whereas most focus on activities and a tight schedule, this one focuses on people. This is not to say that the activities are in any way lacking, though, it's to say that subtracting the scheduled activities wouldn't significantly take away from the essence and enjoyability of camp. The location is excellent, and leaves a lot of options for cool stuff to do year-round. The fa... This camp is unique. Whereas most focus on activities and a tight schedule, this one focuses on people. This is not to say that the activities are in any way lacking, though, it's to say that subtracting the scheduled activities wouldn't significantly take away from the essence and enjoyability of camp. The location is excellent, and leaves a lot of options for cool stuff to do year-round. The facilities are great as well, and are constantly being improved by the staff & volunteers. (Who, by the way, are fantastic people. I've had the opportunity to work alongside them.) The speakers are always great people as well, and the sessions are practical and impactful. The atmosphere makes it feel like a home away from home. There isn't a better camp in my opinion.

Our home away from home. The place we look forward to visiting every year as a family to unplug (literally and figuratively), have some meaningful downtime, and enjoy a week of being well fed both physically and spiritually. Camp Marantha is a place to connect with and hear from God while also forming and fostering friendships that could potentially last a lifetime.

Great activities options water hole, swimming, tubing, canoe, kids play activities and a big barn. Camp fire, food and great community if you come for one of their many camps. This organization was established in late 70s. Hard working staff, Chris & Brenda went the extra mile to cater to guest needs! And very affordable option for families. Go maranatha!!
