Camp Ithiel is a Christian camp and retreat center in Gotha, FL near Orlando, right between Ocoee and Windermere. Camp Ithiel exists to serve people through Jesus christ in a place apart for faith and personal development. Camp Ithiel is an outdoor ministry of the Atlantic Southeast District Church of the Brethren. In 1948, after several years of offering summer youth camps in various locations throughout Florida, the Atlantic Southeast District churches decided to secure a permanent site to host overnight camps. It was agreed that the property should be located in central Florida. In December of that same year, twenty acres near Orlando was purchased and became the permanent home of Ithiel Camp and Retreat Center.
Now, more than sixty years later, thousands of youth have attended summer camp at Camp Ithiel. Multiple overnight youth camps for different age groups encompass the modern-day Camp Ithiel. Campers have been positively influenced as staff point them to the life of Christ, serving and caring for them year after year.
We offer multiple summer camps giving youth the chance to experience God and His Creation along with the comfort of air-conditioned facilities! Camp Ithiel works hard to foster an atmosphere where campers can encounter God through worship, study, relationships, recreation and nature. Our summer camps give campers the opportunity to participate in fun and exciting activities like canoeing, archery, hiking, 9 Square in the Air, Gaga Ball, Life-Size Angry Birds, campfires and cookouts. Most importantly, the heart of our summer camp ministry is to encourage and challenge campers to grow in their relationship with God and to walk with Him every day. There is no better way to spend a week of summer than at Camp Ithiel. We offer Overnight Camps and Day Camps for youth ages 6-18. Register today for the fun!
