Description
Owned and operated by Youth Camps for Christ, Inc., Camp Willow Run is a non-profit, interdenominational Christian camp and retreat center located on beautiful Lake Gaston near Littleton, NC.Built on a unique railroad theme, Camp Willow Run began in 1968 as a day camp and opened as a co-ed residential camp in the summer of 1970. Southern Railway donated 14 boxcars that serve as dormitories for the campers. In 1971, Norfolk and Western donated 8 boxcars and 2 baggage cars. All dormitories are paneled, electrically heated and air-conditioned and equipped with bathrooms for up to ten campers and staff.Exciting weeks aboard the "good ol' Gospel train" are available during the summer months for the general public to send their children and youth, grades 3-5, 6-8, 7-9 and 9-12. Other weeks are designed to reach out to youth with special needs through our sponsorship program. Church groups can also hold their own camping programs during designated weeks. Willow Run hosts Christian groups for a retreat ministry from September through May. Each October, CWR leads a Mother-Daughter Legacy retreat. In the spring, the camp leads a Father-Son B*U*I*L*D retreat. In November, a Super High retreat is held for church youth groups. Other camp-led retreats are being planned.
