  • We believe that the summer camp experience provides opportunities for creating and strengthening lifelong Christ centered relationships.

Established in 1948, it borders the scenic Little Red River and features thick timber, lush meadows and a truly blessed natural landscape. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for people to encounter Christ, Community, and Creation.

Each summer and throughout the year, Wyldewood offers youth and adults a quality Christian camp and retreat experience. We provide the programming and host many retreats for pre-teens, teens, young marrieds and families. We also rent our facilities to church groups, Boy and Girl Scouts, civic organizations, and Christian college-age social clubs. This is a positive and influential event in the lives of people as they develop relationships with others and with God.
