Welcome to woodlands
Dear Parents,
We are so excited for your child to attend camp with us. Woodlands has a reputation for being a safe environment and an impactful, UNFORGETTABLE experience for kids. It's no wonder our campers come back year after year!
Camp is often one of the most significant, life-changing experiences in a young person's life. First of all, camp is SO MUCH FUN… but it is also so much more than that. It is a place of new adventures. It is a place of sweet friendships. It is a place of renewal and refocus. It is a place where they feel known, loved, and safe to open up about what’s going on in their life. It is a place where they can hear from God.
This generation is inundated with the noise and messages of culture, and those messages have tremendous influence on the way young people think, feel, and live. For one week at Woodlands, we get to turn down that noise and limit that influence. Campers disconnect from their devices and step away from many of the voices competing for their attention. And in that space, we get to surround them with something different—great friends, caring counselors, incredible experiences, and the truth of God’s Word.
Their week will be filled with new friendships, intentional relationships with our staff, unique experiences, epic attractions, hype competitions, engaging worship, and relevant teaching from God’s Word. And after 30 years of camp ministry, we have seen again and again what God can do when young people step away from the noise and have the opportunity to hear His voice.
At Woodlands, the health and safety of your child is our top priority. When your kids come to camp, they become our kids for the week—and we take that responsibility incredibly seriously. We are in the process of interviewing, vetting, and selecting 200 young men and women who demonstrate maturity and responsibility, have a heart for God, and genuinely love kids. Each staff member is carefully and prayerfully selected to ensure that only the best are hired to serve at Woodlands.
To avoid disappointment, please register promptly. Space is limited, and weeks often fill within minutes. You may register online at woodlandscamp.org beginning the last Saturday in February. To ensure that you are prepared to register, please study our Field Guide in advance, especially the Before, During, and After Registration sections.
So whether your camper is coming to camp for the first time or has been here many times, they are in for the most epic, incredible, impactful, unforgettable week of their life!
