CAMPS & RETREAT MINISTRIES

East Ohio Camps Vision for Ministry:
“The East Ohio Conference Board of Camps and Retreat Ministries, partnering with local churches, will develop safe places of hospitality at our camp and retreat sites, facilitate transformational Christian programs, connect people to God’s creation, and encourage all people to encounter and grow in the power of Christ’s love in Christian community.”

East Ohio Camps & Retreat Ministries offer something for everyone – children, youth, adults and families – and can provide accommodations year-round for a small intimate setting or a large group gathering. Event Registration

Whether it be fun in the sun at Summer Camp or cozying up to the lodge fire while on retreat, East Ohio Camps and Retreat Ministries offer you the opportunity to listen for God’s whisper among the towering timbers and refreshing waters of our three unique camp sites.

Camp Aldersgate, Camp Asbury, and Camp Wanake each offer Summer Camps and year-round retreat facilities. Participants have incredible experiences while they make new friends, try new things, learn about God, learn about themselves, and then take it all home. 

Our goal is to provide comfortable settings and quality programs through which people can experience Christ’s love for them and all creation, and have the opportunity to share that love with others.

We invite you to explore God’s greatest gift – “the Wonder of Nature” – with memorable camping and retreat experiences in East Ohio.
