camp oak Hill is building the foundation for christian leadership.

over the next four decades camp oak Hill became known as a fun-filled, christian-based summer camp. A place where the focus is clear and the mission—to make christ known by lovingly presenting Him through God’s word, Godly example, servant leadership, and building relationships in the camp setting— is lived out every day. with christ as the model, campers learn how to become servant leaders in schools, communities, and in our world.

today, Camp oak hill continues to plant seeds in the next generation of Christian leaders.

FAciLitiES SuPPort tHE ProGrAMS

Camp oak hill is no different. the Board of Directors completed a thorough and strategic master site planning process to determine the best use of the land and facilities.

Knowing that feedback from parents and campers consistently cited water activities as most critical to the camp experience, the Board placed the greatest priority on replacing the original camp swimming pool and completing the waterfront area of the new lake. in addition, the Board chose to upgrade the facilities most central to all campers—the dining hall and legacy cabin bathrooms.
