Who we are and what we do
We’ve been lighting fires for over 30 years.
Camps have been taking place at Johnston Woods for over 30 years now. Not only will camp be the part of summer your child most looks forward to, but it will provide them an opportunity to learn and grow. Some of our past campers are now teachers, neurosurgeons, pastors, Hollywood directors, national reporters, and business executives. All of which identify our camps as a critical part of their development both spiritually and in leadership. You could say we are lighting fires.
We are praying that this summer is going to be a great year for camps. We have some exciting camps in the planning stages. We are excited to offer Wonders in the Woods day camps and overnight camps! It is going to be a massive explosion of fun, great memories, worship, and deep connections.
We have experiences for everyone.

“Johnston Woods and the Wonders in the Woods camps had the most profound impact on my life. Not only did camp provide invaluable leadership skills I continue to build on today, but it was the first place I felt God was more than a character in a story.”
“Wonders in the Woods helped me firmly establish a greater connection with God amplified by the stillness of nature. I developed a greater understanding of the importance of a steadfast Christian community woven with laughter, tent songs, and jungle breakfast.”
