Du Bois Center

Illinois South Conference, United Church of Christ

Du Bois Center serves as a primary camping and conference center for the United Church of Christ in southern Illinois. In addition to rustic camping areas used in the summer session, Du Bois has year-round lodging and dining areas, which are used by many churches and by the conference for meetings, retreats, and special events.

For complete information on Summer Camp, the Elderhostel program, the Fall Festival, and the Du Bois facility, go to the Du Bois Website.

Summer Camping

At all the summer camps, every camper has the opportunity to participate in swimming, boating, horse riding, crafts, nature exploration, vespers, and Bible study. Depending on the age of the camper, there are still other activities planned. Special interest camps spend extra time with their interest activity. With so much available, it is impossible for campers to participate in all activities every day, so volunteer directors schedule a mix of activities that will best suit the needs of their campers.
