About the provider

Christian Retreat Center was founded in 1978, and the first children and youth camp was held in 1981. Its mission is to create an atmosphere of peace and hope at the camp and in the community in order to connect people to Jesus and to each other.

CRC is unable to keep campers with contagious conditions such as flu-like symptoms or lice. CRC does its best to accommodate dietary needs and requests, including gluten free, dairy free, and nut allergies. The camp store allows campers to buy apparel, snacks, and drinks. If parents want to interact with their child at camp, it is encouraged to write letters or follow CRC's Facebook and Instagram page.
