For over 45 years, Makemie Woods has been changing lives by providing a high-quality, fun and safe Christian summer camp for children and youth. Established in 1964, Makemie Woods offers a chance for campers to try new things, learn new skills, make new friends, enjoy and appreciate nature, and most importantly develop and nurture their faith in Jesus Christ. Every camper at Makemie Woods participates in Bible study led by a minister or church leader and daily devotions led by our college-aged or older staff. Makemie Woods
In addition to growing in their faith, campers at Makemie Woods:
go canoeing or rowboating. practice new skills at our archery range. create awesome crafts like hemp, picture frames, and fuse beads. cook over an open fire. hike through our trail system. fly on our ziplines*. meet our pet snakes and tortoise. play exciting night games. participate in campfires and more! Older campers can choose an adventure trip such as whitewater canoeing or rafting, rockclimbing, caving, sea-kayaking, etc!
(*for safety reasons, archery is not available for Beginners, Young Explorers, or the FISH session. Zip lines are available to traditional camps intended for grades 6 and older--Nomads, Night Owls and Alternate Sports)
