Who is Rock-N-Water?
Rock-N-Water is a Christian camp located in Lotus, California along the american river, centrally located off of Highway 49 between Auburn and Placerville. Rock-N-Water is a group of Christians who want to impact young people with the joy of God’s Living Word, so they might come to know Jesus and pass on God’s love with excitement. We focus our camp conferences on biblical principles, and we use the help of nature, friendship, and challenge to develop character. Our staff are not only trained to be amazing camp counselors, but also outdoor adventure guides. Our guides will not only lead you through your spiritual devotionals, but we will also lead you upon the rivers and rocks that we adventure upon. Learn more about Rock-N-Water Christian Camps.
What’s the value of a Christian camp experience?
Growth! Camp provides an opportunity for individuals young and old to get away from the constant distractions of everyday life. By breaking away from the routines, places, and the things that we find familiar, we are better situated to discover new things about ourselves, our friends, and our Heavenly Father. Learn more about Rock-N-Water’s Educational Objectives.
What’s the value of outdoor adventures?
Adventures in the outdoors provide a natural camp conference or church event platform for helping to strengthen your ministries by created a more united group. By shifting campers out of their comfort zones, further away from the places and things that they are familiar with. Outdoor adventures provide countless opportunities for growth through challenging activities and the often temporarily uncomfortable situations we experience when we leave the protection of our everyday lives.

What sets Rock-N-Water apart from other Christian Camps in California?
It’s our passion to not only get youth into the outdoors, but to also help them to actually stop and experience the outdoors first hand while they are here. Too often good intentioned, but overloaded, summer kids camp activities and sports can bombard a child with so many amazing experiences that while they are sitting right in the middle of an amazing forest of God’s creation… they never realize it. We want to change that.
Each of our camps summer adventures include time intentionally set aside to give campers an opportunity to just stop and think. Often times this takes the form of a quiet time that we’ll front load with a short devotional before spreading the group out for time of quiet reflection. It is our goal that these steps, and others, will help make time spent at Rock-N-Water the best possible for summer camp kids.
