Welcome Campers!

If campfires, crazy games, and Christian fellowship sound fun to you, then you need to join us in Troy, MO at Cuivre River State Park.

LYM is a weeklong camp experience for high school youth (just graduated eighth grade through graduating seniors.) Through our discussions, devotions, and late night Bible studies, you will find a new and exciting way to experience God's love. Worshipping is fun with LYM!

Camp is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and to meet new friends from all over the United States especially in and around southern Illinois and eastern Missouri.

LYM is a one-week Christian summer camp for high school youth (just graduated eighth grade through graduating seniors.)

Camp Sherwood Forest is a self-contained camping area with its own eating, sleeping, and recreational facilities. Staff for the week includes an ordained minister, persons certified in food service preparation and sanitation, and a group of experienced counselors.
