Calvin Crest designs and hosts Christian camping programs throughout the summer season. Programs are designed for third grade students through recent high-school graduates, as well as family camping programs. Calvin Crest offers High School Camp, Junior High Camp, Sherwood Camp (Fourth- Sixth Graders), Outpost, and First-timers Camp (First-Third Graders with their parents to get them ready for a camp experience without their parents in the future). Each program is organized and run by the Calvin Crest Summer Staff. Some 2500 to 3000 guests attend these summer camps each year.
Among several recreational activities, Calvin Crest offers: boating, hiking, swimming, fishing, rock climbing, arts and crafts, and a ropes course.
From September to the late Spring, Calvin Crest hosts an Outdoor education program designed and taught by the Calvin Crest Outdoor Education staff. These programs are designed for fifth or sixth grade students.
