CrossRoads’ summer camp program features eight weeks of residential camping. Highlights of the summer include high-energy group competitions called Color Wars, hikes to the summit of Dismal Mountain, daily age-appropriate worship, hilarious talent shows, visits from local and international missionaries, and countless recreational opportunities.
Here’s a snapshot of a typical day at CrossRoads:
- Morning worship next to the Piney River in our outdoor worship area
- Breakfast of waffles with strawberries and cream, sausage, cereal, and fresh fruit
- Visit with a missionary from South Africa and learn about their culture and ministries
- Climb one of our two indoor climbing walls in the recreation building
- Lunch of homemade pizza, steamed vegetables, and fresh fruit

Campers seeking extra adventure should check out one of our three High Adventure weeks which offer life-changing experiences such as rock climbing, rappelling, backpacking, and horseback riding. These weeks fill up fast, so sign up early!
Most weeks of camp are open to any boy or girl who has completed grades 4-12. For younger campers or families who want to experience camp together, we offer two Family Adventure Camps. These shortened weeks of camp are open to campers of any age and their parents. Family Adventure Camp introduces participants to many elements of a regular camp week while providing time for families to relax and fellowship together.
CrossRoads is proud to offer several weeks of camp that are open to girls only. Through both research and years of experience, we know that girls benefit from learning and playing in single-sex environments. At a time when many camps and programs are becoming coed, CrossRoads chooses to hold firmly to our heritage as a camp that builds up and encourages girls.
