Camp Woodland in Georgia is a beautiful setting for your camp experience. It is a 120-acre camp spanning two sides of a central lake. This will be the second year we will be on the west (Heritage) side of the facility.
The focus of Camp Woodland will be on helping you build a closer relationship with God, Jesus Christ and other teens your age. Drawing from God's word, you will develop new life and leadership skills through the camp experience. This year's theme, "Building on the Foundation," will help you see how you can establish ethical, moral, spiritual life skills that will allow you to have a wonderful life now and the blessing of eternal life, yet ahead!
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.
This year we plan to again offer archery, basketball, campfires, canoeing, dance class, high and low ropes courses with a zip line over the lake, kayaking, paddle boats, speed-away, softball, swimming, traverse wall, ultimate frisbee and volleyball.
All campers will sleep in bunk beds. Campers and staff need to bring their own bed sheets, blankets, a pillow and towels to camp.
