"They made our church's stay so, so much fun. The staff is very accommodating, welcoming and work very hard to keep things running smoothly while you enjoy your stay—even going that extra mile without being asked."

Retreat guest

"We loved our stay at Deer Creek Camp! We loved being able to go to a place that is family run. The meeting space and the outside space was perfect for large group time, small group time and fun!"

Retreat guest

"Our church has been going out to Deer Creek Camp for retreats for about a year now and we are so grateful to have been able to do so. They are always incredibly welcoming, flexible, and attentive to our needs."
