Summer Camp 2026

Learn More/Reg.

A Summer of Spiritual Growth

In a world full of distractions, camp offers a sacred space for children to "unplug" and experience the Wonder of God. As we look toward Summer 2026, our prayer is that every camper leaves with a deeper faith and a clearer vision of who God calls them to be.

The Woodcrest Experience:

  • Day Camps: Building a foundation of faith through outdoor fun and fellowship (Ages 6-14).
  • Overnight Camps: Stepping away from the ordinary into the extraordinary. (Ages 7-15)
  • Outbound Trips: Pushing boundaries and building character through Christ-centered adventures. (Ages 12-16)

Join the Mission: Become a Prayer Partner

"The Prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16


The heartbeat of our ministry is our Summer Staff, who serve on the front lines to share Christ's love with every camper. We are looking for dedicated Prayer Partners to provide spiritual covering for these young leaders throughout the season.

How Can You Make A Difference At Camp?

You can make a difference at Woodcrest in many ways, both big and small.

One of the most powerful ways you can help is by praying for Woodcrest. Please consider praying for:

  • The year-round ministry team.
  • Our Board of Directors as they plan for future development.
  • That the Summer Camp Ministry would bear much fruit.
  • That guests would be drawn closer to God and feel refreshed during their time at camp.
  • The financial support needed to sustain our ministry.

You can also support us by signing up here to receive emails with PowerPoint slides, flyers, and more about upcoming events that you can use to help us spread the word. This is a great way for supporting churches to add something to your Sunday morning slides.
