Preteen Hartland Summer Camp 2026

Summer Camp is a time to get away from the normal routine and spend intentional time with God and others while having fun!

Summer Camp at Hartland will be a week that 5th & 6th grade preteens won't forget! Students will be swimming, boating, ziplining, giant swinging, climbing walls, arts and crafting, making new friends, having talks that matter, and learning about a God that loves them beyond their imagination!

Hartland's mission is simple. Share the Gospel with as many students as possible. And to do this, camp is being offered at no cost to families!

Dates: July 26-31

Location: Hartland Christian Camp in Badger, CA

A Note About Medical Things

It is our desire to provide a fun yet safe environment for each camper. To accomplish this at Hartland, a Registered Nurse will be on-site and available 24 hours a day to assist with medical emergencies, first-aid, and administration of medications. All campers’ medications must be in their original containers, labeled with name and clear instructions. Multiple medications should then be placed in a clearly labeled zip-lock bag for each individual and turned in to the nurse upon check-in. Please let us know if your child has special dietary needs.

Thanks for considering Hartland Summer Camp for your preteen!
