About US
Camp Lightfoot was founded to help educate boys and girls that are curious about God, the Christian faith and the creation. The formative years are ideal for introducing children to these concepts. We provide activities that promote physical, mental/spiritual and social and emotional health. Our ultimate goal is for children who do not know God to create a relationship with Him and for those who have already accepted Him to grow in their walk with Him.
About the Camp Site
Camp Lightfoot is located on a prime 1100 acre tract of land adjacent to the Colonial Parkway which connects restored Williamsburg, VA and historic Jamestown, VA. The camp is owned and operated by the Gospel Spreading Church and is situated within close proximity to its working dairy farm. While dairying remains the primary farm enterprise, domesticated animals are available for campers to observe, and in some cases feed and/or pet. Both the wooded areas and the wetlands surrounding the campsite provide excellent trails for hiking and exploration of plant life.
Campers and staff are housed and fed in climate-controlled buildings. Other structures include an outdoor chapel, swimming pool, nature hut, craft room, and indoor playroom. Sufficient acreage is allotted for informal and formal activities. The James River is nearby and provides fishing opportunities. In general, the camp site is a composite of those ingredients necessary for a fun-filled camping vacation for children.
