Stronghold Foam Sword Camp

July 28th – August 3, 2024

Stronghold Foam Sword Camp

Stronghold overnight camp is unlike any other experience.

Coming to camp you will learn how to play a sport we call Stronghold. A medieval-styled foam battle game with swords, shields, arrows, and more.

You will be immersed in a community of fellow warriors, striving as one to honor Christ as you dive deeper into the study of His Word, work with your team to complete challenges on an Imagination Adventure, and hone your skills on the battlefield through the guidance and instruction of excellent teachers. 

Stronghold overnight camp also offers all the parts of a traditional camp experience like singing, campfires, and devotions to create memories that will last a lifetime.

This year we will have an in-person overnight camp at Machen from July 28th to August 3rd.

The theme of this year’s camp adventures is digging for treasure. In our imagination quests we will be mining for treasure and inevitably disturbing monsters from digging too deep. Campers and staff will enjoy seeing parallels when reading the scriptures about finding treasure which God has for those who seek for it.

Machen‘s Stronghold camp is for boys and girls ages 10 through 17. 

Camp check in starts at July 28th at 3:00 pm on the Sunday and camp programming starts at 5:30 pm, and ends Saturday August 3rd at noon.

Camp Staff

With the Lord’s blessing the ministry has grown to summer camps and overnight camps. Stephen Ippolito became a full-time missionary this past summer and now serves with an international organization called Push the Rock where he hopes to spread the joy and gifts of the Stronghold programs to Pennsylvania and beyond.
