Outdoor adventures for 4 generations of North Alabama campers!
Summer Camp runs weekly, June – July!
Summer Camp
The quintessential Maranatha experience: residential “sleep-away” summer camp experiences for children from 3rd grade through middle-school. Bring a friend and come enjoy an awesome week that’s sure to be the highlight of your summer.
Day Camp
For younger children (Kindergarten – just finished 5th grade), our day camps offer a full-blown camp experience minus the sleeping bag. Our buses pick up in Huntsville and Madison each day of camp, giving kids a great preview of camp life!
Leadership & Adventure
Middle and Highschool students can attend our week-long Adventure Camp and our two- week Leadership Course for counselors in training. Whether you want an adrenaline rush or college resume builder, we’ve got you covered.

Our History
For over 50 years, Maranatha has served North Alabama and beyond as a safe gathering place. It has been, and will continue to be, a place where differences are set aside and our humanity, spirituality, and commonality are re-ignited.
Nestled on the banks of the Tennessee River on beautiful Lake Guntersville, the beauty of creation provides our campers a unique chance to unplug and experience Maranatha… and find what it means to them.
