CELEBRATING OUR 100TH YEAR!
Current and former campers alike will tell you that Camp McDowell fosters a welcoming, Christian community in which an enthusiastic staff supports young people's growth and development of an abiding respect for each other and the world around them. At Camp McDowell we show the way the world could be through worship, learning, rest, and play in the beauty of God’s Backyard. Join us at Camp McDowell this summer for one or more of our great camps!
