2025 Interest Group SIGN UP
Interest Group Topics
High School Lakesiders, you can now sign up for your 2025 Interest Groups!
How it works: Senior High campers will have a Bible Centered (discussion) interest group at lunch time and an active interest group at dinner time. Look through the list and start ranking your top 5 Bible Centered and Active Interest Groups!
You must be registered for camp to register for interest groups! Junior High campers do not need to register for interest groups. There are set groups that you will rotate through.
Bible Centered (Lunch time) Interest Groups
Choir
Lunch
This group learns new songs, black spirituals, and Lakeside classics. Take part in the walking choir and sing for your camp peers during praise and worship.
Even though we know choir is active, we know that you are also getting plenty of The Word when you are with Pastor Todd. Campers who choose Choir for the lunch interest group will also choose an active group for dinner.
Lunch
God can use anyone at any age to carry out his ministry and do his work. We'll look at passages in the Bible that will help us to understand the strengths and flaws of ordinary teens that God used in a big way.
Active (Dinner time) Interest Groups
AMAZING RACE: LAKESIDE EDITION
Dinner
Ready, set, go! Inspired by The Amazing Race, this fast-paced scavenger hunt will have you racing through Lakeside, answering questions, and tackling challenges with your team. It's a wild mix of fun, faith, and friendly competition. Think you’ve got what it takes to cross the finish line first?
Art
Dinner
Art is what you make it. This year, we are taking everyday items (or what others call junk), and turning them into our own masterpieces. Let’s get creative and have some fun!
Bible Journaling
Dinner
Do you like to Bible journal? Have you ever wanted to learn how to Bible journal? If so, then sign up for the interactive Bible journaling interest group.

Escape!
Dinner
Love a good puzzle? In this interest group, you'll work with your team to solve puzzles, crack codes, and complete challenges in order to "escape" before time runs out. It’s all about teamwork, communication, and a bit of brainpower. Are you up for the challenge?
The Verse is Right
Dinner
Do you enjoy game shows and a little friendly competition? Join “The Verse is Right,” where we’ll play a different Bible-themed game show each day – like Jeopardy, Family Feud, and other favorites!
