About Green Oak Camp
"Lake does more in three days than most camps do in a whole week!"
Green Oak Ranch Staff
Our desire at Green Oak Camp is to give the LAC Family a truly long, fun, relaxing, and amazing family experience building relationships with friends, and family where new relationships can be fostered.
Set in a camping environment in the heart of Vista California, away from the usual, and provide activities for kids to be with kids, for adults to be with adults, and for adults/parents to interact with kids.
Our History
Starting in 1979 several LAC families from Galileans Adult Class went camping. The group continued to grow year after year. Then, in 1985 one of its class members (who happened to be on the board of the Union Rescue Mission, the owner of the ranch) made arrangements for them to camp there. They provided their own meals and activities, starting with crafts and a Sunday service geared strictly for the kids.
The Galileans Class realized the importance of this extended weekend and the remarkable location and practically made it mandatory for everyone in the class to go – particularly new people - since the weekend while only three full days felt like it was worth more than three years of time spent in class on Sunday only.
Participation
We encourage you to invite your friends, family, and co-workers, as it is a very easy-going and welcoming atmosphere that everyone can participate in and become part of. Our children's worship service is still geared to the kids with a children's sermon, yet always with an open and inviting Gospel message for everyone.
There is a spirit of working and playing together that permeates the ranch experience. People share food, bicycles, squirt guns, help each other with their tents, gather 'round campfires and just become extended family for the weekend. It is really, truly one of the best ways to meet people and become part of the LAC Family.
