Since 1946, campers of all ages have been making memories to last a lifetime at Camp Zion, near the northernmost tip of the beautiful Door County, Wisconsin peninsula.

Camp allows you to take a break from the pace and distractions of life, and breathe in the beauty of God’s creation. Listen to God’s voice and learn from His Word.

Enjoy unforgettable fun in community with great friends and caring staff. Discover the life-transforming power of a relationship with Jesus Christ.

A Note to Parents –

Camp is a place where your child can experience outdoor fun and develop meaningful relationships with other kids and adults, while in a safe, Christ- centered environment. Your child will never forget the spectacular scenery, limestone bluffs, beautiful sunsets over the bay, and star-filled nights.

We take camper safety very seriously. Caring and qualified staff members supervise campers, include them in activities, and know how to spot and deal with issues like homesickness and misbehavior. Waterfront, food service, and health services staff have appropriate and current certifications. All staff members undergo initial background checks, annual application reviews, and training in child protection policies. Camp Zion is licensed by the State of Wisconsin as a Recreational/Educational Camp.

PLEASE NOTE: We value the safety of our guests. When it comes to the health and well-being of all of our campers and staff, we ask participants to practice personal responsibility, prudence, and courtesy. Campers who become ill prior to camp should not attend, and refunds will be given. Masks are optional, but participants will be expected to sign a COVID Waiver.
