Day Camp

For 14 years, Woodcrest Retreat has been voted a winner for “Best Day Camp” in Lancaster Newspaper Reader’s Choice Awards!

Thank you for making 2020 a great summer. See you next year! Be on the lookout for fun events for your child throughout the year including the Kids Camp Bonanza, Journey to Bethlehem, and Winter Camps.

Parents! Have you searched tirelessly for a fun and engaging place for your child(ren) to spend a week or more of their summer? Seeking to find a safe place where you can confidently leave your child each morning on your way to work? Is your child a bit uncertain of staying away from home overnight? Well look no further!

The Discovery program is for ages 6-11 while the Trekkers program is for ages 12-14. Both provide a place to learn and grow here on the Ephrata Mountain. These programs are full of adventure and excitement and include plenty of outdoor activities, games, crafts, Bible lessons and water fun.

Children are grouped with other similar ages and guided by caring and trained counselors. Camp is about relationships, so we ensure that our staff have been carefully selected to represent quality Christian character, have obtained all necessary background checks, and are mandated reporter and CPR certified. Camp themes, games, crafts, nature lessons, and Bible lessons are different each week.

Monday – Friday 9 AM – 4 PM

Lunch and snack are provided.
