Makemie Woods Camp and Conference Center: Directions and Map : Virginia : Summer Camp: Retreat Facilities

Come live in the woods, go hiking, canoeing, and swimming,
make crafts, sing songs, fly on zip lines,
build fires, cook outside, explore nature, perform silly skits, befriend both campers and staff, serve God, and more...
and get paid to do it!
