"Last year at camp was my first opportunity to talk with church family members I sit beside every Sunday."
Running a congregation retreat at Walcamp is a unique opportunity for your church family to experience Christian fellowship.
- Create a friendly space with unstructured time for members to interact with each other outside of the Sunday Worship experience
- Connect family members with one another on a local, low-expense mini-vacation.
- Encourage friendships between member families at all age levels.
- Gather around campfires and tables for songs, stories and moments to hear God's Word
- Share food, conversation and fun in God's Creation
- Encourage members to bring unchurched friends to meet Christ and His children on neutral ground.
- Worship outdoors - many congregations lead a joint service that brings attendees from multiple services together in one place.
Why choose Walcamp?
Walcamp was created by the youth and congregations of northern Illinois as a place set apart for the Church to experience worship, rest and renewal. A place to share the love of Jesus with one another and to reconnect with the God of Creation here in the outdoors
