One of the Illinois Conference's greatest resources for
 reaching youth is Camp Akita. In addition to hosting an abundance of youth and Pathfinder events during the year, it is also home to the summer youth-camp program. The focus of this program is to give young people an opportunity to experience God's nature and exciting activities wrapped up in an environment that is unashamedly Christian.

Camp Akita is also a place for church groups, conference groups, youth teams, and families to come for a retreat. Nearly every weekend people come to be refreshed by great fellowship and the camp's natural beauty. Many fun activities are also available including waterfront activities, a climbing wall, a high-ropes course, and mountain bikes.

Our hope is that the type of opportunities for training, ministry, and service for our young people in Illinois will abound so that they will be part of that "army of youth rightly trained" to help finish the work God has given us as a church to accomplish.

An ideal setting for fellowship, inspiration, and recreation, Camp Akita features:

• Large and small meeting rooms
• Guest rooms with two double beds, bathroom, sink outside bathroom, ample closet space
• Cozy cabins with two bathrooms, heat, and air conditioning
• Baseball diamond and game field
• Swimming on beach front
• Camping sites
• Full-service dining in the lodge (specialty -- vegetarian cuisine).

An ideal setting for: Youth Groups, Church Retreats, Family Reunions, Conventions and Conferences, Men's or Women's Retreats, Overnight Guests, Large or Small Groups.
