Come spend a week of your summer with us in scenic Lake of the Ozarks State Park. The largest state park in Missouri will once again serve as host to preteens from all over the Midwest
as they gather together fun, fellowship, and new experiences. In the peaceful setting of Camp Clover Point, campers will have opportunities to acquire new skills, build confidence, and
deepen their knowledge of God, while reconnecting with old friends and making new ones!
