Aldersgate Camp And Retreat Center

Whisking your family away for an adventure calls for an engaging destination that achieves the perfect blend of learning, recreation, and heartwarming engagement. Say hello to Aldersgate Camp and Retreat Center; a place brimming with spirit and camaraderie. A cornerstone of The United Methodist Church's youth and children's programs since 1948, Aldersgate is a testament to nurturing care and purposeful mirth. One would be hard-pressed to find a more all-inclusive camp. From Athletics – think basketball, soccer, rowing and more – to the irresistible charm of equestrian activities like horseback riding and western riding, here’s a place where young athletes can find their stride and passion. And it’s not just about burning energy – it's also about sparking creativity with pastimes like arts and crafts. A leisurely hike or a serene canoeing session? Aldersgate has it all. And for those impromptu fishing excursions? Nothing like a quiet afternoon by the water teaching the youngsters some patience. Expanding beyond sports, you'll find Aldersgate to be notably inclusive. With programs suitable for children with ADHD, learning disabilities, and diabetes, it's a place where everyone can feel a sense of belonging. As an ACA accredited camp, it provides a safe, supportive environment for self-discovery, fostering friendships, and encapsulating the joys of communal living within a Christian framework. Aldersgate isn't just a summer camp – it’s a home away from home where children learn, laugh, and create lifelong memories. It’s a wrap-around experience woven together with love, care, and the pure thrill of discovery. As journeys go, Aldersgate spells a thrilling summer chapter for your kids.
