Get OUTDOORS! BREATHE....Fresh air! and EXPLORE the Frontier. Summer camp at Woodcrest Retreat is an amazing opportunity for a child to be immersed in the wonder of God’s creation on over 110 acres of spacious woodland, to have fun develop personal character, learn about God, and build friendships! Campers this year will be encouraged to “Fan into Flame” their faith in Christ through following the lives of faithful biblical leaders, including Daniel, Peter and many others.
Join us for an unforgettable summer adventure and experience life on the frontier!!
The resident camps at Woodcrest Retreat offer a unique overnight experience for ages 8 – 15. Other than the Explorer mini-week camp, campers enjoy a full-week beginning at 9:00 AM and ending with a parent program at 6 PM on Friday evening.
New Frontiers Camp gives a camper a taste of frontier living and learning. Fire building, outdoor cooking over a crackling campfire, hand pumping water and sleeping in a unique Adirondack-style bunkhouse are balanced with recreation, worship and nature exploration in a great out-of-doors wooded setting.
General activities for overnight camps include: GaGa, nature learning, live animals, carpet ball, night games, swimming, morning devotions, creative crafts, wagon rides, amazing waterslide, campfire cookouts, interest groups and EVENING FIRESIDES where campers gather for a time of lively worship and are challenged to “Fan into Flame” their faith in Christ. Full week campers can anticipate a unique theme night and will be sure to remember the belly – busting hilarity of FOREST FOLLIES. New interest group activities include duct tape crafts, friendship bracelet making, video camp news and much more.
Guided by a caring trained counselor, campers will learn and grow through specific activities planned for each camp:
