The Zone is a Middle school Christian summer camp located in the Mid - west at Lake Williamson, IL. It has been specifically designed to create the space for middle school students to experience relational ministery in a camp setting. The Zone has everything you would expect a middle school summer camp to have; including water front activities (A Blob, Water Trampoline, Floating rock climbing
wall, water slides, etc...) a gym, snack shop, arcade, skate park, and even putt-putt golf, but places its focus on the relational element that this environment creates rather than purely on the programmatic element itself. What makes the Zone unique is that the relational element is built into the daily schedule. Every activity that we have planned for the week in some way has an intentional element of relational ministry to it. Our goal is NOT to offer students a chance to escape away from their every day life at home by purchasing an opportunity to be entertained at camp, but rather to experience an encounter with Jesus Christ through incarnational ministry. There are small and large group time for discussion and teaching, live music from a worship band as well as Church group time and free time each day.
