Guest Testimonials
Always enjoy having a place to gather together. Love the new fans in the Tab pavilion.
Church campout in the Lower Highland Campground, June 2025
Our kids love all the outdoor activities — they played a lot of soccer and 9-square. The meeting spaces were great! We loved it here!
Church youth retreat in Red Oak Lodge, June 2025
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!!

Of course, every camp week includes time spent splashing in the pool and playing active games on the rec field. The Mini Campers had such a good time, we’re confident that many of them will want to come again for a full camp week in the future! (Post 3 of 3)

Last week’s Mini Campers also enjoyed building forts in the woods, gaga ball, finding tiny frogs, and human foosball. (Post 2 of 3)

We wrapped up this year’s Highland Summer Camps last week with Mini Camp! This camp is a shorter overnight camp, perfect for 7- to 10-year-olds who want to try out camp but may not be ready for a full camp week just yet. We packed the brief camp session with plenty of fun activities! These included crafts, worship time with plenty of fun camp songs, and Bible studies. (Post 1 of 3)

The Mountaineers also got to paint mini canvases during craft time, and of course spent time in the pool. Many of our older Day Campers opted to stay for a Thursday night sleepover, as well, and that group got some extra swim time as the sun went down. We certainly enjoyed having these campers with us last week! (Post 3 of 3)

Other fun activities for last week’s Day Camp Mountaineers included gaga ball, petting some goats, exploring the stream, learning to use a compass, and a campers-vs-counselors game of volleyball. (Post 2 of 3)

Our oldest Day Campers are the 9- to 12-year-olds of the Mountaineers age group. They are old enough to harness in and climb the climbing tower, so that was one of their destinations while hiking around the Highland property! They also had a chance to try their aim in archery. (Post 1 of 3)
