High Braes Refuge
To the Glory of God
Summer Camp
The Free Summer Camping Ministry at the Braes began in 1980. Ron and Lorraine Hodge wanted to reach out to the children and teens of the economically depressed areas surrounding the Braes.
In 2009, the Braes will be going into its’ 30th consecutive summer of camping. Hundreds of children and teens have now passed through the gates of the Braes to enjoy a solid Christian camping experience.
These campers come from a variety of social and economical situations. Some come from difficult home lives. Some come from unchurched homes. Most come from homes that are economically challenged. No matter the case, they are all welcome.
This continues to be a free camping program for these children and teens. Most of these kids would never be able to enjoy a camping experience otherwise. This program is made possible through the faithful financial support of individuals and churches.
We will be offering three weeks of camp in 2009, one week of Day Camp and two weeks of Teen Camp (one Junior High, grades 6-8 and one Senior High, grades 9-12).

Camping Ministry Objectives
Christian Growth
To see each camper find Christ as their personal savior and experience growth in their Christian life. To see each camper give over control of their life to Lord and submit to Him in every aspect of their life.
Individual Importance in God’s sight
To show through our love that each camper is important in God’s sight. To make them feel important by giving each camper individual attention.
Christian Fellowship
To provide an opportunity at the High Braes Refuge where Christians can come to get away from the pressures of this world, so that they may be refreshed and renewed through fellowship with other Christians.
Greater Appreciation of God’s Creation
To see the orderliness found in God’s creation, resulting in having greater appreciation of God’s creation.
It is the objective of High Braes Refuge for each camper to hear and respond to the message of salvation available only through Jesus Christ.
If your child or teen lives within a 20 mile radius of The Braes, they are entitled to attend the camp for free.
