Walcamp Outdoor Ministries and Retreat Center
In this electronic age of overly-demanding schedules, cluttered information highways, school, part-time jobs, and a host of other extracurricular activities, it is more important than ever for children and youth to slow down and take some well-deserved quiet time for spiritual reflection and growth.

Spending time at Walcamp, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, allows children, youth, and adults to experience God's amazing creation, re-evaluate their priorities, make new Christian friends, and continue to grow along their faith journey. It's a priceless opportunity.
