In its later years, Roblin Lake Camp held five week-long non-profit adventure camps for underprivileged children ages 7-12 every summer. Campers took part in activities such as drama, canoeing, arts and crafts, and swimming. Other week-long summer camps for children included Music Camp, Moms & Kids Camp, and Pioneer Club Camp. A special guest was invited to Music Camp each year. Several well-known musicians were guests at the camp, notably David Catherwood. Men's Camp, Women's Ministries, and Senior's Camp were also held. Facilities at Roblin Lake included a basketball court, a baseball field, an outdoor swimming pool, and a miniature golf course. Foosball, archery, shuffleboard, boating, volleyball, air hockey, and street hockey were common recreational activities played throughout the summer.
