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.
