You are welcome here!

Come explore Camp Lakeside, a safe and welcoming space nestled into a western Kansas canyon next to Lake Scott State Park. Gather around a campfire, hike our rim trail, enjoy picturesque scenery, and see where you may discover God in nature. Build community with others, or spend some time in solitude. There’s bound to be something for you to learn here about yourself or God.

Camp Lakeside is a United Methodist Camp, and we offer programming for all ages. In the summer, we have camping programs for children and youth (even adults, for some of our camps). From Exploring the Mysteries to Art Camp to Wilderness and Fishing Camp, there is sure to be a week of camp for your camper!

We are also happy to host your retreat or guest group, providing a hospitable space for you to enjoy time in our canyon. Camp Lakeside offers three and four-season lodging options, so our beautiful setting could be the perfect place for your next gathering.
