Engaging youth from Oceana and Newaygo County at Camp Tall Turf Tall Turf Ministries has been in business since 1968 and has operated Camp Tall Turf since 1969. This camp located in Walkerville sits on the shores of Campbell Lake and owns 245 acres. Our overnight camp has a mission to equip youth and families for lives of reconciliation in God’s world. In efforts to achieve our goals, campers build positive relationships with people from diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, and economic backgrounds in a safe, Christian environment. Throughout their time together, youth engage in a variety of activities that seek to break down barriers and foster a sense of unity and reconciliation. These experiences and relationships help to equip youth with communication skills and an appreciation for diversity that is vital in our increasingly global society. Additionally, participants learn new skills and try new things, which leads to developing an enhanced sense of self-esteem. Furthermore, team-building activities and small group times allow campers opportunities to develop leadership and cooperation skills, as well as creating space for individual and group reflection thereby strengthening self-esteem and unity among program participants. Through traditional camp activities such as swimming, kayaking, arts and crafts, archery, basketball, hiking, and outdoor education, staff and campers are preparing to be the next generation of Christian leaders. Through a generation donation from a local foundation, scholarships (some at 100%) are available for local families. Sessions are almost full so please register as soon as possible at tallturf.org.
