Camp Willowdale Academy history

It all started back in 2006. Sparked by a small idea by our pastoral staff at WCCA and the availability of funds to employ students to work for the summer, we embarked on a path to create a summer day camp that would reach children in the community and introduce them (and their families) to our church family and our faith in Jesus Christ.

We set out to create an experience that would be memorable AND affordable - for the children who attend and for the youth who are the backbone of our initiatives. Thus, Camp Willowdale Academy was born.

Our mission from Day One to now has always remained the same:

  1. To introduce children to Jesus and practical life morals and values they can apply to their lives as they grow and mature.
  2. To train and mentor youth in leading and serving their community while gaining valuable work and life experiences.

This year marks the 4th year that we have been in operation and this year promises to be our biggest yet! Many of the children who attended in the past have already booked their spot for this year.

Our staff and volunteers from the past two summers have also inquired about working at Camp Willowdale Academy again this summer. That in itself is a testament to how much they value our mission and our passion.

We hope that whether you are a parent or a student you will join us this summer at Camp Willowdale Academy and help us create a lasting impression in the lives of children!
