Lake Nixon

Lake Nixon Lake Nixon Outdoor Center is a scenic 240-acre recreational facility with a 35-acre lake just minutes from the heart of Arkansas' capital.

A scenic recreational space, minutes from the heart of Little Rock, best known for our summer day camp, where for 55 years kids have had the opportunity to come home "happy, dirty, and tired" after a day of outdoor friendship, fun, and growth. We are a ministry of Second Baptist Church, downtown Little Rock, best known for our large summer day camp where for 55 years kids have had the opportunity

to come home each day "happy, dirty, and tired" after a day of friendship, fun, and growth. We also care for and share this space with our community via group rental events and welcome visitors for a variety of recreational activities (hiking, biking, boating, fishing, and more).

We are so grateful for our ongoing partnership with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission . Today we welcomed their educators for a fishing clinic with campers -- the first of multiple visits during camp this summer. In addition to this valuable programmatic partnership, we want to give thanks to the AGFC for being one of our 2026 Camp sponsors, helping us provide options to make camp financially accessible to more families!

"And just like that, Week 3 has officially begun!

Ahoy, campers! The gates are open and our crew is officially setting sail for a swashbuckling week of high-seas adventure because Week 3 is all about channeling our inner pirates and seeing who can best say ""Ahoy Matey!"" by the end of the week.

The sun is shining, the water is ready, and our counselors are leading their cabin crews into a brand-new week of pirate treasure hunts, outdoor discovery, and nautical games. Here’s to a week of growing confidence, spark-ing curiosity, and making great friends! Let's go!"

For several years now, campers have frequently hiked to the top of a nearby hill and placed one of the many available rocks on a pile -- a pile that's growing bigger and bigger all the time. We now refer to these as the "memory rocks."

They bring to mind the last section of our camp pledge: "I am not the first; I won't be the last. But while I'm at Lake Nixon, I'll keep my word -- and have a blast!"

A few openings are still available (especially in July). To learn more and to apply, visit lakenixon.com/day-camp
