CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp Jonah began in 1996 through the love of a Grandmother for her 24 grandchildren. After many years of doing "Grandma Camp" on her 20 acres of woodlands, the desire grew to create a Christian camp experience for other children. "Grandma" Bernice Duke approached her son and daughter-in-law, Jeff & Beki Duke, with a dream to sell the homestead the family had owned since 1965, purchase the Old Trout Lake School, and start a camp.

We program our own camps during the summer. We specialize in small, hands-on camps with a strong emphasis on relationships. Please check our website for more info. Camp offered are: Prime Camp, Ultimate Kids’ Camp, Day Camps, G.I.R.L.’s Camp, Man Camp, High School Camp, Adventure Camps, Family Campout and Grand Camp.
