WHO WE ARE
Helping Others Find and Pursue Life in Jesus!
OUR HISTORY
Merriwood Christian Camp was founded in 1958 by Salem Baptist Church of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The 68+ acres we currently reside on was purchased, land was cleared, and buildings began to go up, starting with the dining hall, three main cabin buildings, and a chapel building. Since then, things have progressed and more buildings and staff housing have been built. MCC has been running our own summer camp programming since about 1990, with a complete counseling staff, program staff, food service team, and maintenance team.
OUR VISION
We exist to change lives by creating opportunities in which people can experience the message of Jesus Christ within the context of interpersonal relationships, introspection, and memorable learning experiences.
SUMMER CAMPS & RETREATS
We are a summer youth camp offering unique, challenging programming for rising 1st graders through rising college freshmen, both for individuals and youth coming as a group.

RETREATS
After just one week of camp, I saw just how much better my life would be knowing Christ.
The friends and counselors at Merriwood have been there to answer all my questions and help me when I was questioning my faith.
Merriwood has always been a place for me to escape from all distractions and really be able to feel the Lord’s presence.
