Camp Henry is more than just a great place for campers and guests; it is a great place to work! Our Mission Statement is: to provide life-changing experiences for all in a Christian environment.

We have served campers, students, families, and guests at Camp Henry since 1937. We believe a camping experience at Camp Henry can transform lives in many ways.
