Father & Son Camp-Out

Father & Son Camp-Out

Lodging: Bring your tent, camper, reserve a rustic bunkhouse or enjoy one of Woodcrest’s newest cabins
Food: Friday dinner through Saturday lunch (three meals and snack included)
Ages: Sons ages 5-16

Want to create some special father and son memories? Come and join us at Woodcrest Retreat and enjoy a weekend together. There will be fun activities that will get you outdoors and sharing time together. Some families make this an annual tradition. Our father and son weekend has the benefits of a camping trip without the trouble of food preparation! You’ll have time for both fun and reflection.

2026 Theme:  Be Strong & Courageous!

Courage does not mean the absence of fear; it means facing that fear with God, just like Joshua did in the Old Testament. By studying the how Joshua faced the challenges he faced with courage we can learn how we too can have courage to face our fears. There will be devotional times that challenge us from God’s Word and games and activities that will challenge us as we tackle Woodcrest’s low ropes course and other challenges that encourage fathers and sons to work together.
