This is the summer that could change lives.

You want your child to come home happier, braver and closer to God. Rooted in faith and growing with purpose, Camp Albemarle has guided families on the Crystal Coast for more than 70 years with Christ-centered day and overnight camps at the Sound and in the Pines.

Rooted in faith. Growing with purpose.

You want a summer that helps your child grow.

As a parent, you want your child to come home from camp happier, braver and closer to God than when they left. You want them to have a summer they will talk about for years.

Lots of funSailing on Bogue Sound, climbing trees, skit nights and campfire songs fill every day.
A growing faithDaily worship and Bible study with counselors who love Jesus help faith become their own.
Real friendshipsCampers make friends face to face while living, playing and praying together.
New confidenceClimbing higher, sailing farther and trying something new builds courage that lasts.
A break from screensPhones, tablets and computers stay home so kids can be fully present.
A sense of who they areCampers discover who they are and who God created them to be.

We know how hard it is to find all of that today. Screens compete for your child's attention, schedules stay packed, and it can be difficult to find one place where faith, fun and safety come together. You should not have to choose between a camp your kids will love and a camp you can trust.

Camp Albemarle has guided families on the Crystal Coast since 1953. Each summer nearly 1,500 children join us for day and overnight camps led by trained, Christ-centered counselors who are committed to keeping every camper safe and helping each one grow.

Your child will likely come home tired and smiling, complete with new friends, new courage and a faith that feels like their own. And they cannot wait to come back next summer.

If you miss out

Without a life-changing experience at Camp Albemarle, another summer can slip by on the couch and behind a screen, and a season for growth during these important years passes quietly, never knowing who they could have been with just a little encouragement from some godly friends.
