Welcome to Woodcrest Retreat

Register for Journey to Bethlehem HERE!

Woodcrest Retreat is located on 110 acres of secluded woodlands in Ephrata, Lancaster County PA. Woodcrest is a Christian camp and retreat facility where youth and adults alike can get away and enjoy the natural beauty of God’s creation.

This peaceful setting allows individuals, families, businesses, and church groups to experience the wonder of God through His creation. At Woodcrest you can enjoy the peace and presence of God as you walk the woods, enjoy the recreational activities, or simply relax by a campfire.

Woodcrest Retreat offers summer camps for children (both overnight and day camp) as well as cabins, pavilions and an RV campground for retreat and family use. The swimming pool and the 225’ water slide are always favorite summer activities. There are also a variety of year-round meeting spaces available for gatherings and special events for up to 300 guests. You are invited to come and enjoy all that Woodcrest Retreat has to offer.


Our mission is to introduce people to Jesus Christ and encourage Christian growth through programs and partnerships that emphasize creation and community.
