Youth Retreats & Camps in Ohio

Space to Grow Together in Faith

Host your youth retreat or camp in a Christ-centered setting where students can connect, worship, and build lasting friendships.
Whether you’re planning a weekend retreat or a week-long youth camp, Cross Oak Camp & Retreat Center provides comfortable lodging, home-cooked meals, and meeting spaces so you can focus on ministry while we handle the details.

Please note: Cross Oak Camp provides the facilities, lodging, meals, and recreation spaces for your retreat. Your group is responsible for planning and leading your own programming and activities.

Where Youth Encounters Faith and Community Comes Alive

Since 1947, Cross Oak Camp has helped churches and ministries create life-changing moments for the next generation. Your students need time away from screens and schedules—to pray, laugh, learn, and grow. We provide the space for that to happen safely and smoothly. From worship services to small group sessions and campfire devotions, our facilities make it easy to bring your program to life.

Everything You Need for a Successful Youth Retreat

Our campus is designed with youth groups in mind—safe, spacious, and equipped for both fun and faith formation.

  • Lodging for 20–300 guests in cabins, dorms, or inn-style rooms
  • Dining hall with fresh, home-cooked meals prepared by our team
  • Auditorium for worship services or performances
  • Indoor gym and meeting rooms for year-round use
  • Outdoor pool, disc golf, playgrounds, and fields for team activities
  • On-site hosts and support staff ready to serve your group

Planning Your Youth Retreat Is Simple

From your first inquiry to the final day on site, our team works closely with you to ensure every detail is covered.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Request a Quote to start the conversation
  2. Get a custom proposal tailored to your group size and schedule
