Guest Testimonials
Grateful for this ministry to our church. God bless your 2025 summer!
Church Campout in the Lower Campground, May 2025
The quietness was invaluable and the creeks and trails helped my brain to quiet down. The comfy furnishings helped me rest. I leave refreshed, which is an answer to prayer. I truly appreciate all the effort and thoughtfulness [from camp staff]. May God richly bless you just as you need.
Personal retreat in Creekside Cottage, April 2025
Dogwood fits our family very well, and we enjoyed cooking outside over the fire! It was fun to explore together while we had all of camp pretty much to ourselves.
Family getaway in Dogwood Cottage, March 2025
Love having a safe, fun place to come, with plenty of room for our kids to play and adults to connect, too.
Sunday School class retreat in Red Oak Lodge, February 2025
This time away for me has been such a gift. Thank you for your intentionality to provide a place for people in ministry to “get away to a quiet place” — like Jesus did. Blessings on you all!!

Last week also included archery, the climbing tower, crafts, creative cup stacking, human foosball, and more! Whew, what a list! And what a spectacularly fun week of camp! We are grateful for the counselors, support staff, and campers who made Resident Camp C such a good one! (Post 3 of 3)

Last week’s Resident C campers also enjoyed teambuilding games, 9-Square, exploring the stream, sand volleyball, and fun in the swimming pool! (Post 2 of 3)

Our Resident Camp C last week was a great group of 11- to 13-year-olds! These campers enjoyed the full range of Highland Summer Camp fun, including hikes, worship times, and Bible studies. (Post 1 of 3)

Wilderness Camp A also challenged themselves at the Climbing Tower, cooled off in the pool, and had meaningful times of worship together. We’re so glad that the campers and staff of this year’s first Wilderness Camp had a great week! (Post 3 of 3)

Last week’s Wilderness A campers cooked over fires that they built, and they learned to set up tarps for outdoor sleeping. That skill came in handy when they did an overnight hike to the National Forest! (Post 2 of 3)

Last week was another one where we had two camps going at once: this smaller group of 14- to 16-year-olds, our Wilderness Camp A, was out in the woods while Resident Camp C was in the main camp area. Wilderness Camp is a special thing! A smaller group, surrounded by nature, less focused on keeping a schedule and more on enjoying each other and the processes of camping in the woods. They hiked and cooked their meals over fires. (Post 1 of 3)
