Crossing Camp — Organization Profile
Crossing Camp is a Christian camp and retreat ministry connected with Crossing Church. The camp’s mission is to help people, children and adults alike, find an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Its programs are designed to create a safe, focused setting where children, students, churches, and guest groups can learn about Christ’s love, grow in faith, build community, and enjoy outdoor camp experiences.
Crossing Camp is located in Rushville, Illinois, about four miles southwest of Rushville on Highway 24. It serves students and groups connected with Crossing Church campuses across Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa, including communities such as Hannibal, Jacksonville, Keokuk, Kirksville, Lima, Macomb, Monmouth, Mount Sterling, Pike County, Quincy, and Wever. The camp also hosts guest groups looking for a retreat setting in west-central Illinois.
The camp offers summer programs for students in grades K–12. Its Crossing Camps are designed for specific age groups so children and students can participate in age-appropriate teaching, worship, activities, and small-group relationships. Campers are placed in small groups with other students their age and paired with adult leaders who help guide the camp experience. The camp describes its summer youth programs as opportunities for students to encounter Jesus, have fun, build teamwork, and participate in community.
Crossing Camp also offers guest group opportunities for churches, ministries, schools, and other groups planning retreats, conferences, and events. The camp works with leaders to understand each group’s goals and help shape the schedule, spaces, environments, and activities around the event. Guest group facilities include lodging, food service, meeting space, recreation areas, and staff support.
The property includes 29 acres of retreat space with an auditorium, gymnasium, lodge, barn, station, marriage retreat center, café, cafeteria, pavilion, shower house, pool, lake, disc golf, field games, soccer, playground, and other camp activities. The facilities page notes capacity for groups up to 390 people, with an auditorium seating 325, a cafeteria seating 204, climate-controlled lodging, ADA-accessible spaces, and recreational areas designed for both structured programming and free-time activities.
People can engage with Crossing Camp by registering students for summer camp, booking a guest group retreat, volunteering, applying for summer staff, supporting the scholarship fund, inviting students to attend, or contacting the camp with questions about programs and facilities. Scholarship donations help children and students attend camp, and volunteer and summer staff opportunities provide practical ways to serve during the camp season.
