Rockford Christian Camp’s fundamental purpose is to HONOR GOD by bringing our campers and staff to a more MATURE LIVING FAITH. The goal of Christian Camping is to promote spiritual, mental, physical and social development. It is also our desire to grow in appreciation of God’s creative works and see his design in all that he has made. We believe in working with campers as individuals and encouraging definite spiritual decisions at a time appropriate for that camper.



The camp was founded in 1954 as Tri-State Christian Camp and operated on the rented facilities of Camp Rotary south of Rockford, Illinois. In 1957 the present name was adopted. RCC is a registered Illinois not-for-profit corporation overseen by a board of 15 Christian directors elected from its general membership. These directors are all members of Churches of Christ. The camp also has a 501(c) 3 tax exemption from the IRS.
