Adventure Together
Couples Camp is a primitive weekend camping experience designed to re-energize the most important relationship in your life: your marriage. Remember the way you felt about your spouse when you first met? The possibility. The energy. The excitement. It's still there, and this weekend is built to give you space to re-discover it again, or build to the next level.
Through fun, teaching, downtime, and worship, connect with your spouse on a level you didn’t think possible, while surrounded by thousands of others moving in the same direction. Nothing else in our society is designed to build into marriage, and it’s too important to leave to chance. The investment of one weekend can be the push you need to get to a new place.
THE BASICS
What to Pack
Food
We’ll supply lunch on Saturday, as well as beer/wine/soda/water. Beyond that, you’ll need to bring your own food for dinner Friday, breakfast and dinner Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. Bring food that can be stored without refrigeration, and that doesn’t need a whole lot of prep time. Clif Bars, jerky, cheese and crackers are all great options.
Clothes
Two main ideas: keep yourself dry, and dress in layers. Extra socks, a jacket for night, a rain layer, etc. You’ll also want sturdy boots, or something rugged enough to handle hiking on the land all day.
Gear
At a minimum you'll need a sleeping bag, camp chairs, headlamps, water bottles, and something to eat on. You'll work with your pre-assigned unit to figure out big stuff like tents and coolers.
GETTING THERE
Flights & Travel
Couples Camp takes place on 700 acres of land called Base Camp just east of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The nearest airport to Base Camp is the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) which is approximately 45 minutes away.
Keep in mind Couples Camp runs Friday evening until Sunday morning. You will need to plan flights around that time, factoring in travel to and from camp.

Cool. There will be plenty of other couples there just like you. Couples Camp includes intentional spiritual content, but its application goes beyond four walls and a steeple. We know you’ll both still get something out of it.
