Who We Are
Camp Jonah began through the love of a Grandmother, Bernice Duke, for her 24 grandchildren. After many years of doing "Grandma Camp" on her 20 acres of woodland, she, along with her son Jeff and daughter-in-law Beki, and their five children, sold their farms to purchase the old Trout Lake School building and start this camp in 1996.
Our staff welcomes you to experience hands-on, tailor-made, year-round, top-notch programs, upgraded facilities, and down-home hospitality. Our facilities and services are available to any organization that will not hold anything in conflict with our Statements of Faith. We host groups of 40-120 guests. Through unexpected gifts, purposeful steps of faith, and God's grace, many are finding a real community where they come as a guest and leave as a friend.
