For over 75 years, Camp Hardtner has cultivated an atmosphere of love and acceptance for hundreds of campers each summer, offering a unique tradition unlike any other. We are a Christian community that unites to play, laugh, sing, and worship in the presence of God. As an Episcopal church camp, Camp Hardtner goes beyond discussing faith—we actively engage with God. We see God's presence in the Kisatchie National Forest where we play, in the neighbors we love, and in the way we share that love with everyone we encounter. Our camp fosters a sense of unity, where campers view each other not as “us” vs. “them” but as potential friends. This approach not only makes for an unforgettable summer but also imparts a lasting lesson in inclusivity and compassion. We invite you to consider Camp Hardtner for your child this summer. It could be the best week of their lives. Campers stay in air conditioned cabins with carefully screened and trained college age counselors. Activities include music, games, swimming, canoeing, worship, crafts and community building. Meals are served cafeteria style in a modern air conditioned dining hall.
