★★★★★John HardingOur youth group loves coming to Camp Cedar Crest for their conference events. The lodging and meals are always great, and there are plenty of activities to keep them entertained. An added bonus is it's always beautiful there year round!
★★★★★Amy GrayCedar Crest is one of the most special places in the world to my girls. They are 18 and 16 and have grown up going to camp multiple times each summer. My older daughter is now an integral part of the summer camp staff. Cedar Crest is a place where all kids are loved and accepted and taught that they are worthy of love from God and everyone else. The camp staff is very serious about safety and extremely well trained. I highly recommend this camp!!
