Birchwood Camp

Birchwood Camp provides a variety of summer camps for all ages of children and teens, as well as some year-round programs for teens & adults. Programs are focused on faith formation, building genuine community, and providing safe spaces for character development in our children and teens. Birchwood Camp is an American Camp Association Accredited camp. 

Birchwood Camp also offers rental and program opportunities for community groups, schools, churches, businesses and families. The camp facilities are open year-round and are available for rental for groups up to 100 people.

Birchwood Camp is a well established ministry of hospitality of the Alaska Conference of the United Methodist Church, in operation since 1958! Birchwood Camp’s mission is to build community on common ground. We strive to offer hospitality to all, and we open our doors to groups both religious and secular. Guests are invited to retreat to a place of tranquility, a place apart from the everyday world to experience renewal and inspiration.

The camp is led by a volunteer Board of Directors, which supervises the year round executive staff. The camp utilizes hundreds of volunteers annually for maintenance & building projects, trail & grounds maintenance, and camp programs.
