Realife Blue Springs

"Our 90ish middle school and high schoolers from church had a blast for their fall retreat at Real Life Blue Springs! We will be back!"

"So this place is a bit of a mix bag for those of you looking for a church camp. The hotel rooms they use for dorms are cramped and old. It took effort to get under the shower head height. They bragged about the food being the best camp food. I wouldn’t recommend that. It was not very good and most of my students didn’t eat much (portions were small anyway) and skipped meals because of that. I say all that to manage expectations. It is an older campus. All that said they have great morning activities. They really put a lot of effort into having fun things to do and plenty of free time to enjoy them. They have very nice people working there. I didn’t get names of any of the camp staff. They would benefit from working at Chick-fil-A for a few weeks before signing on with Camp Real Life. The preacher our week was great… Joel is a great guy. The worship team did a great job. They obviously invest a lot of time in that aspect of camp. The games were the same games I ran for camps in the 90s. Overall I think they care and they give a great effort. They have a very balanced approach to outreach and order. They are working on building a great camp. For now I would say it was a good camp. Tried to be honest in my review for other pastors/leaders."

"The camp is well run and the lodge, meeting hall, and dining room are great. My room, well... the bunk beds were solid. In fairness, the camp is going through maintenance. Overall, the grounds are beautiful and it was a good experience."

"We had an absolutely amazing week at camp! The staff truly care about reaching these kids, leading them to Jesus and making sure they have an amazing time! It was an honor to be a camp counselor and I can’t wait to go back. The new camp site is in need of updates but they are actively working towards that as the funds become available. Please consider donating if you can. We saw so many lives changed in just 5 days!!"

"We transported 3 busloads of Youths and Chaperones from Bridgeway Church in Wesley Chapel here. They all had a marvelous time away...2nd year we brought them!"
