Exciting Facility Improvements

Warm Beach Camp Ministries is excited to announce some exciting facility improvements across the ministry! We are immensely grateful for the generosity of compassionate donors, skilled volunteers who selflessly give their time and energy, and the contractors who make improvements possible. Check out a few upgrades that happened this year!

Horsemanship: This summer, fencing was replaced, and new loafing sheds were constructed to protect the horses from the sun and rain. The grandstands were re-roofed, and the hay barn roof was sealed to prevent leaks. Long-term plans include additional hay storage and permanent restrooms, complete with a laundry room. Horse blankets and wraps require a significant amount of laundry time!

Cedar Lodge at Warm Beach Camp: The lobby has new windows and siding, new lights, and ceiling fans, making it more inviting for guests to visit with one another. The new patio project in the front of Cedar Lodge is nearing completion. This new covered patio feature will create a comfortable space for guests to gather and fellowship together!

The Grove: Two more ADA-accessible Grove Cabins have been completed and furnished. The Grove now has an additional thirty-six beds, which will be a significant benefit to retreat groups. Once completed, The Grove will be a signature facility for those serving persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Staff Cottage Remodels: Most of the cottages at both camps are over forty years old and, unsurprisingly, need greater levels of investment to remain suitable places to live. Black Diamond Camp is finishing the second remodel, and Warm Beach Camp is finishing the third remodel of the year!

Warm Beach Camp Ministries is intentional about investing in the properties God has blessed us with to offer exceptional guest experiences. From the natural wear and tear of guests visiting year-round to the unforgiving environmental impacts of the Pacific Northwest, ongoing ministry support is needed to effectively share the love of Christ through transformational camping experiences.

The Barn Changed Me

Before the barn, I felt like I was missing something—like my purpose began and ended with being a mom and a wife. While those roles are sacred, I knew deep down there was more of me waiting to be found. I was searching for myself… learning how to honor my truth, how to listen to my own voice, and how to step into confidence in who I am. Then I found the barn. And slowly, quietly… it began to change ...

Celebrating the People Who Make Camp Possible

At Warm Beach Camp, gratitude isn’t just something we say—it’s something we live. Every season, every camper story, and every moment of transformation is made possible through the faithful support of an incredible community. That’s why The Great Camp Thank You, previously known as Warm Beach Camp Ministries Open House, is such a meaningful tradition. It is our opportunity to pause, gather, and say from the bottom of our hearts: Thank you! On Sunday, May 17, 2026, Warm Beach Camp will ...

A Therapeutic Experience

Each summer, Warm Beach Camp has the privilege of welcoming teens and adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities to Camp SunSparrow to attend a week of Day Camp. During this time, they have fun, make friends, and gain new and impactful life skills and experiences. Amidst the busyness of the summer months, one activity that stands out is the thoughtfully coordinated horse encounter, which is brought by Warm Beach Horsemanship team members one afternoon a week. This activity has ...
