Forest Home

One of the best places for a retreat! The staff is first rate - so kind, caring and attentive. I try to make it every year -such a beautiful setting!

Forest Home is an absolutely beautiful escape from the hustle of life. I came here during the summer of 1993, 1994, and 1995 when I was in middle school. Looking back on these pictures bring back the coolest memories. Forest Home is where I found Jesus when I was 10 years old. He’s been with me ever since.

My son would have been able to have a great camping experience, if I had help with technical difficulties trying to register him. No one answers the phone, in my experience. I even tried to contact someone through social media. No response. Looks like people have fun there. Wish my son could have experienced it.

I was talking to some friends about Forest Home and how much we loved our family camp experience in 2023 and the thought prompted me to leave a review. I had no idea what we would do or what the camp even really looked like prior to coming…so I thought I’d share some photos from our experience for people who are considering coming. This camp is AMAZING! I have visited several camps over the years in Washington, North Carolina, and throughout California and this one is extra special. The counselors are such kind and loving people. Their sincerity really was obvious and my 5 kids felt so loved by everyone. The camp food is delicious and the programming is top notch. Outdoor activities abound and it’s just truly a gem of a place. We would go back every summer if we could! For families with

Even though it's a religious camp, they rent out to non-religious groups for different events. We shared the lake area with a private college's water Athletics department for an annual retreat that they do. We also had to share the dining hall with them. It was frustrating to have to wait for them to get their food before we got ours, especially since they completely ignored the serving sizes. (A plate piled HIGH with scrambled eggs, for example, when we were only allowed a small scoop each). Want to go in the lake up to your ankles? NO! Not without a lifeguard present! Insert eye-roll here. The cabins were decent (do NOT plan on air conditioning), and the attractions were fun, but all in all, I was only moderately impressed.
