Our Story
A Ministry Built to Help People Grow Closer to God

Clara Springs Camp & Conference Center is more than a camp property. It is a Christ-centered ministry that has been serving campers, churches, and retreat groups for more than 70 years.

Located in Pelican, Louisiana, Clara Springs was created through the generosity of donors and continues to provide a place where lives are changed through worship, biblical teaching, fellowship, and intentional time away. From summer camp to conferences and retreats, the heart of Clara Springs has always been to create an environment where people can grow closer to God.

Throughout the year, Clara Springs welcomes children, students, young adults, adults, families, and church groups for meaningful experiences that strengthen faith, deepen relationships, and support the work of ministry far beyond a single event or season.
