Transforming our inner-city with the love of Christ through
sports, arts, and meaningful relationships.
Through $500,000 in donations from Oklahoma City business and community leaders, Shiloh Summer Camp, which serves 500 inner-city youth each summer, recently purchased the 47-acre tract of land on which the camp resides near NE 70th and Santa Fe. Since its founding in 2001 Shiloh has leased the land through a partnership with Eagle Ridge Institute.
To celebrate the occasion, Shiloh will host an announcement and facility tour Monday, May 24th at 10:00 a.m.

Summer camp is an American tradition. Children can run free in the beauty of nature, eat a snack in the shade of a tree, or stare in fascination at a wild bird or animal passing nearby.
However, in some of Oklahoma City’s urban neighborhoods, children don’t have the opportunity or resources to experience summer camps. These children grow up in a world of concrete and neon lights, facing problems and temptations beyond their years. For the last decade, a group of dedicated individuals have created a camp in the very heart of the city for these urban youth. It is a hidden oasis of trees, streams and wildlife where children receive encouragement, guidance and love— a place called Shiloh Camp.
Nestled off of 63rd and Broadway, Shiloh Camp is 40 acres of fun and activity. Every summer, the Christian camp hosts six one-week long sessions where campers experience everything from basketball to mountain biking to fishing, as well as tackling a ropes course and learning about their faith.
Everyone Should….
Spring is here and soon Shiloh Summer Camp will be swarming with excited children laughing, learning and loving the best week of their summer!
