Imagine waking up surrounded by 120 acres of Georgia woodland, with a peaceful lake as the heart of it all—that’s life at Camp Woodland. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome you back for the third time to the west (Heritage) side of the grounds for an unforgettable summer.

Camp Woodland will focus on helping campers build a closer relationship with God, Jesus Christ and other teens. Drawing from God's word, campers will develop new life and leadership skills through the camp experience. This year’s theme, “Follow Me,” will explore what it really means to walk with Jesus in everyday life—helping campers discover what it means to be a disciple.

Dorms are grouped by age and will have multiple counselors to oversee, guide, direct and mentor the campers. This dorm structure provides campers with the opportunity to create lifelong friendships and allows for a more tailored learning experience based on maturity level. All campers will sleep in bunk beds—just remember to pack your own sheets, blanket, pillow and towel!

Adventure awaits at every turn: we plan to again offer archery, basketball, canoeing, dance class, arts and crafts, fishing, high and low ropes courses with a zip line over the lake, kayaking, paddle boats, speed-away, softball, swimming, adventure course, ultimate frisbee and volleyball.
