These camps for ages 8-12 are among the most popular in South Carolina! Frank Shivers brings relevant messages to the children on their level while an incredible staff helps the kids have experiences they will never forget. It’s full of team competition, fun activities such as our hilarious talent show as well as sound Biblical teaching and preaching.

What sets Longridge Kid’s Camps Apart?
Longridge is one of few camps in which campers stay in cabins with staff throughout the week. The bond that forms in this arrangement is an intentional outgrowth of our desire to grow relationships between each other and with a loving God. We do not require a minimum number to attend and we are one of the few camps to welcome students from churches who are not able to send a leader for the week.

Meet our Director

Frank Shivers, full-time vocational evangelist, is the director and owner of Camp Longridge in Ridgeway, SC. He has been in full-time ministry for over 30 years and is the author of many books including: Heavy Stuff, Clear Talk to Students, The Evangelistic Invitation 101, and Soul Winning 101. Under his leadership at Longridge over 3, 700 students have made profession of faith and thousands of lives changed.

Summer Staff

Our Super Summer Camps utilize a staff of 18 college students. These students are selected to serve on our staff based upon their devotion to the Lord, exemplary lifestyle, involvement in the local church, biblical convictions and giftedness. It is our goal in their selection that your students will experience the highest quality of leadership and spiritual mentorship.

Staffers are assigned to each cabin and are responsible for the students of that cabin all week. He/she is their spiritual shepherd and overseer and seeks to foster growth both spiritually and emotionally in them through devotions, play, example and sharing.

Staff Praise Team
The Longridge Worship Team, formed from members of the summer staff, lead worship for all children’s camps and back-up Alan Daniels in the Classic camps. It is always amazing to see the talent and ability of these college students to meld together and be incredibly effective worship leaders. It is truly a special attribute of Longridge that the same staff who are with the students all day, lead them in worship during services.
