Summer Camp at Camp Kearney

EXPERIENCE GOD’S BEAUTIFUL CREATION

LOCATED JUST 20 MINUTES SOUTH OF PEORIA, CAMP KEARNEY ENCOMPASSES 155 ACRES OF WOODS, PRAIRIE, STREAMS, AND LAKES.

Founded over 50 years ago, Camp Kearney is the result of a vision given to long-time South Side Mission worker Margaret Kearney. Margaret wanted to provide a Christ-centered camping experience for children of South Side Mission, and it became a reality through the hard work and generosity of many people. Camp Kearney has expanded its ministry and now offers a free week-long summer camp experience to around 400 youth from the 61605 and rural Central Illinois each summer.

CAMP KEARNEY OFFERS FREE SUMMER CAMP TO CHILDREN FROM FAMILIES WITH LIMITED RESOURCES.

Camp Kearney offers a quality, Christ-centered camping experience to youth from the 61605 and rural Central Illinois completely FREE of charge. Our goal has always has been to provide a summer camping experience to those who might not otherwise be able to attend summer camp due to limited financial resources. If you find yourself in these circumstances, we’d love to help.
