Camp Hemlock is a Christ-centered outdoor adventure camp in Wardensville that runs single-sex overnight sessions: a boys' camp in July and a girls' camp in August. Activities blend outdoor skills and leadership development with ax throwing, canoeing, high ropes, archery, pool time and marksmanship. A family camp retreat weekend is also offered in late August.

★★★★★c sWay back in the mid 1960s my father Buster Soule and his friend Dick Shaw built the lodge while we were members of Wallace Memorial Presbyterian Church . I helped him by carrying bricks and mixing mortar . I can remember when you had to drive your cars through the creek . I had a lot of fun there . A lot of good memories . I can remember a steep cliff that we would climb down into a small opening in the side . And a swinging bridge . Hopefully not much has changed . A great place for young and old people .
★★★★★Ethan CBest summer camp! Always a blast at Camp Hemlock! I’ve been going here for the past 15+ years and it’s always an adventure!
★★★★★John MongerI have sent my sons to Camp Hemlock for 2 years now and they have had a blast. Each year they learn and grow while having so much fun and making memory’s that will last their lifetime.
★★★★★Johann FolienteFor over 7 years, Camp Hemlock has been an annual highlight in my life. The overall experience is simply outstanding, and I always depart feeling incredibly refreshed. The natural beauty of the West Virginia mountains and the warm, welcoming atmosphere are truly incredible. The sense of community and the genuine fellowship among everyone are what truly set it apart. Two summers ago, I had the fantastic opportunity to be part of the kitchen staff for three weeks, and I loved every minute of it! The food is not only delicious but prepared and served with such love. The people are amazing, the fellowship is enriching, and whether you're exploring the beautiful mountains or gazing at the amazing of the stars in the field at night, there's always something special to experience. If I could give it a rating beyond five stars, I absolutely would! I highly recommend Camp Hemlock to anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor camp for the summer!
