Mission Statement
We will love God, all others, and the earth by providing sanctuary, practicing hospitality, and performing ministry.
All Are Welcome!
United Church Camps Inc. (UCCI) invites you to the sacred experience of gathering at Moon Beach, Daycholah Center, and Cedar Valley. In these places set apart, you will be warmly welcomed by a loving community and have the time to recharge and connect deeply with God, nature, and each other.
UCCI offers year-round camps, retreats, and events for all ages at three unique locations in Wisconsin. Moon Beach in the Northwoods, Daycholah Center on Green Lake in central Wisconsin, and Cedar Valley in the rolling countryside of southeast Wisconsin. Camp AweSum provides camp opportunities for children on the autism spectrum and their families.
The outdoor ministry of UCCI welcomes people of all faith backgrounds or no faith backgrounds. We provide modern and comfortable accommodations, delicious meals, toasty campfires, and a team eager to serve you. Nature shares the wonder of the sun, stars, water, and trees. The Spirit of God will meet you here.

What is Outdoor Ministry?
Outdoor ministry is where community, nature, and faith intersect and interact. Moon Beach, Daycholah Center, and Cedar Valley each have a long history of providing meaningful camps, retreats, and events that nurture connections.
UCCI is pleased to offer a variety of sessions including family camps, youth camps, workshops, retreats, and more. Everyone is welcome and invited to explore the events offered or create a retreat that fits your needs.
Community
When family, friends, and new-to-each other people gather in these sacred places, lasting relationships develop. Conversation flows naturally, connections grow deeper, and mutual love and support create memories that last a lifetime.

Nature
Time spent in nature reminds us how deeply connected we are to the earth. Heart rates slow, breath deepens, tears may come to your eyes; in our bodies and souls, we know this is where we belong. The same spirit and power of creation flow through all living things.

Faith
Faith journeys are personal. We value honesty over tradition, curiosity above certainty, and true transformation that comes alive as beauty, justice, and wholeness. Outdoor ministry centers on supporting you in your faith journey.

"It was so great to just be present and unplugged. It was chicken soup for the soul."
"We were absolutely taken care of. The hospitality exceeded my expectations. I didn’t know what to expect because this was our first family vacation since my husband's disability. I was nervous because I was afraid that something in the experience just wouldn’t work for us. I am happy to say the facilities were accessible, the staff was kind and caring, the activities were wonderful, and the food was amazing! We were all shown utmost respect and staff went out of their way to give us a relaxing and unforgettable experience!"
"When I am at camp…I can tune out much of the rest of my life. I immerse myself in the place and the people. I develop deeper relationships with people than is possible at a church coffee hour or business meeting. We talk around the fire or read together in silence. I watch in amazement as teens care about one another. I reflect on the joy of someone at Camp AweSum who catches a fish or completes a craft project. I am surprised by how easily I can talk with just about anyone as they share their lives with me. There is trust and a willingness to risk revealing ourselves to each other."
Every time we gather here, there is this amazing spiritual burst of goodness! Folks find themselves closer to nature, closer to each other, and closer to the Spirit of God within themselves. It is just a wonderful mix of so many good things!
