We’d like to welcome Jonathan Shirley to our camp family!!  Jonathan is going to serve in the role of Associate Director of Towering Pines and is working in collaboration with Jeff and Will to create a terrific TP trio!!  He is also a part of the entire leadership team for both TP and Woodland.  Recently Jonathan and his wife, Taylor, as well as his family, visited and spent about ten days exploring both camps.  It was awesome to have them […]

We wish there was an easy way to share hard news. We are heartbroken that we are writing to inform you that we will not be opening Camp Woodland and Towering Pines for the 2020 season. Without a doubt, this has been the most difficult decision we have […]
