Attendance at Little Galilee Christian Camp in Clinton continues to show an upward trajectory after a very successful 2022 summer camp season.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Program Director Max Aper told Regional Radio it was the fourth biggest attended summer camp season on record for the Christian camp outside Clinton. Aper has a dream of getting 3,000 kids to Little Galilee in a summer which would fill every facility on its campus.

Little Galilee aims to not only provide a fun outlet for youth over the summer months but also aim to teach kids about Jesus and introduce kids to Jesus. Aper indicates they had nearly 100 students baptized this summer.

Aper reminds there are several types of camp sessions to attend. For the older kids that are at Little Galilee for a week, they start a session on Sunday and end on Friday and they have everything from 'glamping' to a wilderness camp where everything is outside with no electricity.

With the fall and winter retreat season coming up, Aper will now shift his attention to accommodating those groups but he'll also be getting to work on outreach and continuing to raise awareness to grow the camps numbers going into the summer of 2023.
