With something for everyone at our OCF conference centers, come spend time with
us this summer at Spring Canyon or White Sulphur Springs—it’s an investment you’ll
never regret! Whether you find yourself among the majestic Rocky Mountains or beautiful
Alleghenies, what you will experience at both conference centers is outstanding ministry
and optimum fun to recharge you from your high ops tempo lifestyle.
Time spent in God’s wondrous creation, fellowshipping with other Christians who
share and understand your military lifestyle, will create memories and friendships lasting
a lifetime. During my time on active duty, our best times as a family were spent at White
Sulphur Springs. We got to fully experience a microcosm of OCF—singles, retirees, senior
and junior officers, enlisted, and families! They were all military and spoke the same
language we did, enduring similar hardships and pursuing similar goals!
Engage with friends and family by posting your photos on Facebook, Twitter or
Instagram—hiking, rafting, sitting around the campfire, enjoying meals with new friends,
horseback riding, praise and worship, fun talent show songs and skits, seeing new sights,
sharing new insights from the Lord!
Talk it over with family, colleagues, friends, and your OCF small group. Leaders will
gain new insights, families will reconnect, and all will have a fresh encounter with Christ.
An amazing summer experience of fun, spiritual renewal, and physical refreshment lies
ahead. Don’t miss what God has in store for you!

Allegheny Outback! is a program designed to challenge high school students spiritually,
physically, and mentally as they engage in various activities such as: low and high ropes
courses, whitewater canoeing, climbing, rappelling, whitewater rafting, backpacking, and
more. All trips are led by trained staff who have a desire to teach students about the Lord
and share their faith. This summer we are going to explore and examine the life we are
called to live in Christ. It will be a time to contemplate, relate to others, and to act upon
what we discover as we explore biblical hope in an era that often prefers to embrace
empty promises and despair. Consider joining AO! this summer as we backpack, paddle,
climb, and discuss “What is Peace?” Words can turn into shallow cultural niceties. We will
explore the difference between peace the world offers and the peace Jesus gives.
Our mountaineering theme will explore what it means to live for and follow Jesus through
the fun and challenging moments of life we will all encounter. In addition to learning God’s
Word and building relationships, Camp Caleb hosts a number of activities to ensure that
everyone has fun. Here is a list of some of our activities: hiking, backpacking overnight,
archery, swimming, crafts, riflery, horseback riding, ropes course, climbing wall, swimming,
canoeing, and campfire discussions.
Summer Celebration!—time to relax, reflect, and renew your relationship with Jesus Christ.
You’ll enjoy community and adventure whether you come on your own, with friends, or bring
family. Godly, life-tested speakers facilitate biblical discussions. Children and teen programs
teach Bible lessons to strengthen their relationship with Jesus. In addition, children ages
3-12 enjoy hiking, archery, fishing, and kayaking. Teens learn about teamwork as leaders
guide them through ropes courses and camping, while emphasizing biblical principles. We
also offer plenty of free time each afternoon and all day Wednesday for fellowship and
adventure. Our special adventure packages offer horseback riding, ATVing, whitewater
rafting, fly fishing, and hot springs.
