Camp Istrouma

Camp Istrouma operates Methodist summer camps and retreats. As with other organizations, the camp provides a fun-filled, tech-free experience for every child who attends. Camps are grade-specific, and there are day and overnight programs from grade 1 through to grade 12. Students in 3rd grade and above can stay overnight.

Themes for the overnight camps include 'Discovering God,' 'Pathfinders,' and 'Senior Sonrise' for the oldest children. These are all based in Greenwell Springs, around 10 miles northeast of Baton Rouge. The site covers 167 acres, giving everyone plenty of space, and there's a swimming pool on site.

Camp Istrouma has a firm focus on enhancing lives through bible study. But it's also as much about making lifelong friendships and of course having fun. Things your kids can get involved in range from canoeing to Gaga Ball and Capture the Flag.
