For many campers, Cross Roads becomes more than a place to spend a week in the summer. It becomes a second home.

Addison shares how camp gave her a community where she always felt welcomed, supported, and loved. A place where older campers mentor younger ones, friendships span generations, and everyone has the opportunity to make a difference in someone else's life.

At Cross Roads, campers grow in faith, build lasting relationships, and discover that no matter what they are facing, they belong.

Watch Addison's story and learn why so many people call Cross Roads home.

What a great day at the New Jersey Synod Assembly!

We were grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many camp friends, campers, staff, former staff, camper parents, grandparents, pastors, deacons, and congregational leaders from across the Synod.

It was wonderful to share the ministry of Cross Roads Camp & Retreat Center, celebrate the ways God is at work through camp and retreat experiences, and reconnect with people who have been part of our community over the years.

We are especially thankful for the ongoing support, partnership, and shared ministry between Cross Roads, the New Jersey Synod, and congregations throughout the state. Together, we help create spaces for sacred adventures, welcoming community, and lives transformed through faith, friendship, and renewal.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, shared a story, asked questions, or simply said hello. We are blessed to be part of this ministry together!

Less screens. More connection!

Summer camp gives kids the chance to build friendships, gain independence, and grow in ways that don’t happen anywhere else.
