75th Celebrations

Camp Tekoa was founded in 1949 and celebrated 75 years of ministry in 2024!

Between two work weekends, an Alumni Candlelight and cookout, a Staff Alumni Afternoon, a Camp Jim Reunion, a 7.5K and Polar Plunge, and the big weekend long Celebration, hundreds of alumni came back to camp to be a part of this special time.

There were current and former staff, campers, retreat attendees, and Barnabas campers, and every decade of camp was represented, including two campers from 1949. Old friends had a chance to reconnect, new friendships were formed, and many new tee shirts were purchased.

We are so grateful for everyone who was a part of it!

75th Anniversary Meadow Gathering

New in 2025!
