Unlock the magic of summer at Camp Bartlett.
In this episode, Tanner and Sam take listeners inside the 2026 season at Camp Bartlett and share what makes this mountain retreat such a meaningful experience for the youth groups who gather here each summer. Nestled on 640 acres of beautiful Idaho wilderness along the shores of Lake Fife, Camp Bartlett offers a setting where adventure, connection, and personal growth come together.
Tanner and Sam talk through what youth and leaders can expect during their time at camp—from the excitement of the climbing wall and archery range to hiking the surrounding trails of the Cache National Forest. They also highlight some of the new experiences coming in 2026, including the addition of a low ropes course designed to build teamwork and problem-solving, along with expanded lake activities and inflatable water features that make time on the water even more memorable.
The conversation also covers practical details for groups preparing to attend, including session options, what a typical stay looks like, and helpful preparation tips—from swim checks to packing essentials and safety guidelines.
More than anything, Tanner and Sam share why Camp Bartlett continues to be a place where young people step outside their comfort zones, build lasting friendships, and discover confidence in ways that only happen when youth unplugand spend time together in the outdoors.
If you're planning a youth retreat or summer camp experience, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at why so many groups return to Camp Bartlett year after year—and why the memories made here last long after the campfire fades.
