Guest Testimonials
Always enjoy having a place to gather together. Love the new fans in the Tab pavilion.
Church campout in the Lower Highland Campground, June 2025
Our kids love all the outdoor activities — they played a lot of soccer and 9-square. The meeting spaces were great! We loved it here!
Church youth retreat in Red Oak Lodge, June 2025
Grateful for this ministry to our church. God bless your 2025 summer!
Church Campout in the Lower Campground, May 2025
The quietness was invaluable and the creeks and trails helped my brain to quiet down. The comfy furnishings helped me rest. I leave refreshed, which is an answer to prayer. I truly appreciate all the effort and thoughtfulness [from camp staff]. May God richly bless you just as you need.
Personal retreat in Creekside Cottage, April 2025
Dogwood fits our family very well, and we enjoyed cooking outside over the fire! It was fun to explore together while we had all of camp pretty much to ourselves.
Family getaway in Dogwood Cottage, March 2025
Love having a safe, fun place to come, with plenty of room for our kids to play and adults to connect, too.
Sunday School class retreat in Red Oak Lodge, February 2025
This time away for me has been such a gift. Thank you for your intentionality to provide a place for people in ministry to “get away to a quiet place” — like Jesus did. Blessings on you all!!

Our Day Camp Explorers lived up to their name by exploring in the creek, learning about God’s creation, drawing, and digging in the sand. These energetic kiddos kept their counselors hopping last week, and they all had a blast! (Post 3 of 3)

Our littlest Day Campers also love jumping, splashing, and paddling in the pool. And they love it better still if they can get one of their counselors to toss them into the water! (Post 2 of 3)

Last week was Day Camp week! Day Camp has a wide age range, so we split up the campers by age. The youngest group, called the Explorers, is made up of 5- and 6-year-olds. As you can imagine, that’s a lively group! Our Explorer campers throw themselves into playing on the playground and in the rec field, and they get excited to act out Bible stories. (Post 1 of 3)

Of course, Resident Camp E also included a hike around the property and lots of time exploring the stream. The campers made friends, grew in their faith, and learned new skills. All in all, an excellent week of camp! (Post 3 of 3)

Our Resident E campers also enjoyed active field games and the challenge of making bead lizards in crafts! (Post 2 of 3)

Last week’s Resident Camp E was a spunky group of 8- to 10-year-olds! It was one of our smaller weeks of camp, but that didn’t keep the campers from enjoying every minute of their camp experience. You can see some of their fun moments here: swim times, human foosball, fort building, nature studies, gaga ball, and bonding with counselors. (Post 1 of 3)
