CAN PEOPLE VISIT CAMP?
For the safety of campers and staff we do not permit people to visit while camp is in session for the summer. We do have volunteers and work groups that visit over the course of the summer to help at camp with projects and day-to-day functions, but camp is closed to casual visitations, as it can disrupt the schedule of camp and the camper's ability to be fully invested while they are there.

WHAT DOES FAITH-BASED MEAN AT CAMP SHILOH?
The values of Camp Shiloh reflect our faith. Camp Shiloh was founded over 65 years ago by Christians that desired for youth from any background to have a safe place to experience sleepaway summer camp. Camp Shiloh staff have a Christian background, but there is not a specific denomination or doctrine that is taught. Camp Shiloh provides campers with the "Fruits of the Spirit" as a way to practice values, gives campers time to reflect and pray in small groups, and a daily class discussion based on a Bible story. We welcome campers from diverse religious backgrounds. Please contact us with any questions.
