New Creations Camp
New Creations Chapel » Camp
New Creations camp is nestled on 450 acres of beautifully wooded Indiana and Ohio property. We are located literally on the Ohio and Indiana state line in Richmond, Indiana with 250 acres in Ohio and 200 acres in Indiana, but on one piece of land.
The east fork of the Whitewater River runs through the entire property and it provides many activities including river runs for campers. We also have a 50-acre spring fed lake that cools off the summer heat for the campers and provides for boating, canoeing, and fishing. New Creations owns 15 horses that can be utilized for trail rides and are a great hit with the campers.
Organizations are responsible for providing activities for their groups, New Creations can provide air conditioned lodging and meals for up to 250 campers at a time. We also have a large gymnasium for inside activities during bad weather. We have three sanctuaries to choose from depending on size and preference as well as a 7750 square foot youth building called “The Pole Barn” for additional activities.
Please contact Pastor Jeff Raatz for additional information or possible booking dates for the upcoming year.
Purpose
The New Creations Camp Program is geared for a variety of different needs and types of children. All are designed to bring enjoyment to the children and a fresh outlook on their spiritual life. We want to instill in a child a sense of self-worth and let them know that the things of God are fun and attainable.
Facilities
Our facilities, when available, are used for overnight guests and are primitive at this time. For our primitive camping, we furnish portable toilets, and we can provide you with showers at New Creations school building (there are no facilities at the lake). We rent tents, canoes, cooking utensils, and many other items for your camping convenience if you do not have your own. We offer horseback riding for an extra fee.
We are in the process of building a 120 X 150 retreat center that will have 40 motel style rooms and a meeting room that will have house 300.
We also have camp cabins for children and youth that house 30 students in each cabin.
Corporate Picnics
When you book a corporate picnic with us, we will provide, per your request, picnic tables, camp fire area, canoes and life jackets for boating and swimming, portable barbeque grill, and port-o-potties. These items are all included in your booking fee. We also have available, at your request, catered meals, horseback riding and hay rides at an additional rate.
Equestrian
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or seasoned rider, you can enjoy riding a horse at New Creations. Never ridden before? We have horses that even our youngest students can ride. You’re invited to see how relaxing and enjoyable being on or around horses can be.
