Powered by GoogleI have been attending this camp since I was in 2nd grade and have loved it since the day I stepped foot on it. It is such a surreal experience to bring my own daughters here for camps and retreats and hear them call it, “home sweet home” the second we pull on site. The improvements that have been made in recent years make it a top notch facility from excellent clean housing accommodations, amazing delicious food, and entertainment for all make it a memorable experience for everyone. Thank you Cross Oak Camp for all you do!
Cross Oak Camp was amazing from start to finish. The camp director, John, was fantastic - organized, welcoming, and very clearly passionate about creating a good experience for everyone. The food was genuinely good and there were so many fun activities spread across the camp! I would highly recommend this camp to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.
First, communication with John at Cross Oak Camp was exceptional! He was clear in his questions (re: meal times for example) and requests (please put chairs back at the end). He generously worked with our group despite our last-minute changes with meals. Thank you to the chefs too for their flexibility and talent - our youth certainly appreciated it! The dorm rooms and dorm bathrooms didn't offer a lot of extra space to spread out, but they were clean, cushions were comfortable to sleep on, and all was warm which in the middle of January with about 85 young people was of UTMOST importance! Food as I mentioned was delicious and they took feedback well when we mentioned the French toast casserole maybe was a little too sweet. They offered tea, coffee, and hot chocolate! Very complete! The gym space we used for worship was perfect - large , carpeted and with comfy chairs. We were truly blessed to find this place and just 20min from Maria Stein Shrine of the Relics! It was perfect and we are still grateful!
My stay at Cross Oak was exceptional! The rooms were pristine, the food selection has such a wide range that everyone was full and happy, and there are so many spaces that fostered fellowship and time with the Lord. The coffee corner was a lovely bonus and their shop provided me with little things I forgot to pack! I will be back again and can not recommend this camp enough!
We have taken our youth group to Cross Oaks Camp the last 2 years for our Winter Retreat and we wouldn't go anywhere else! Every meal is fresh and delicious, it's just like a home cooked meal by Mindy! It is very clean and the property is well maintained. Their facilities are perfect for our needs and their indoor gym is a major selling point for us since we can't trust the weather at this time of year. They always have a host on site. Shelly was our hostess and she is just the sweetest and she is so helpful. She was taking out the trash in the evenings and was double checking our sleep rooms before we left to ensure that we didn't forget anything. The scheduling process was very smooth, Kristi and John met all of our needs and requests. Kat from Arlington Naz
