The Great Escape: Twin Lakes
TGE TWIN LAKES 2023 HAS BEEN CANCELED
Please consider registering for TGE Smokies or one of our TGE Southwind camps as an alternative.
What makes TGE Twin Lakes unique to other TGE events are the activities offered. TGE Twin Lakes is hosted by Twin Lakes Camp and Conference Center, which allows students to participate in all kinds of activities. Swimming, canoeing, kayaking, archery, riflery, and on occasion horseback riding are just a few of the things Twin Lakes offers. Twin Lakes also has a full ropes course and climbing wall! Churches are split into teams and compete through recreation activities all week. Because our activities are a predominant source of fun, our worship and program style is a little simpler than other camps which allows for students and leaders to really build stronger relationships with Christ first and then each other as they go deeper into their faith. TGE Twin Lakes really feels like you are at summer camp.
