End of Summer

We are officially done with Summer 2025. While it may be sad to see our camp a little bit emptier, we are excited for all the rentals and events to come this fall. Please take some time to read over some quotes from campers and parents from this summer:



  • "I enjoyed watching Maggie make friends as the week went on. This was our first time at Woodcrest and we didn't know anyone. She was very hesitant the first day even crying as I left her, but by the end of the week she had made friends and was busy playing with them when I came to pick her up. " -Summer camp parent
  • "Thank You for the Campership funds so my children could go to camp. This was their first time at camp and they loved each and every day of it." -Summer camper parent

Help us celebrate the goodness of God with a special concert featuring Rhett Walker. Walker first drew the interest of music fans with "Come To The River" and "Here's To The Ones." His debut radio single, "When Mercy Found Me," garnered the singer/songwriter a GRAMMY® nomination. Meanwhile, his third project, 2020's Good to Me, sparked multiple hits with "Gospel Song," which peaked at No. 2, and fan favorite "Believer," which spent 23 weeks inside the Top 10 at Christian radio. A four-time GMA Dove Award nominee, Walker has been invited to play the Grand Ole Opry more than 15 times.
