Description

Camp Istrouma is a retreat center and summer camp located 10 miles northeast of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The camp features 167 acres of magnificent south Louisiana natural woodlands. Some of the outstanding features of the camp grounds are its miles of beautifully marked nature trails along Sandy Creek with its bluffs and beaches. These trails can be reached by crossing the famous “Old Swinging Bridge”. There is also a seven-acre recreational lake which provides many high adventure water activities year round. The camp is owned and operated by the United Methodist Church.



At Camp Istrouma retreat facility and summer camp, we are “Developing Disciples, Forming Friendships and Impacting Lives Forever.” Through the years, we've had the privilege of making a difference in countless lives, first through summer camps, and then with outdoor adventure activities and retreats. Now, let us extend that service to you. Whether you're looking for an incredible Summer Camp, an out-of-the-ordinary adventure activities experience, or a serene place to hold a retreat, Camp Istrouma retreat center in Greenwell Springs, Louisiana is the place for you.



Camp Istrouma has been around since the 1930’s when it opened as a Boy Scout Camp.  It was then purchased by the United Methodist church in 1958.  The camp is currently a year round Retreat Center and Summer Camp.  Registration for summer camp is open to all children and youth without regard to race, color, or religion.



This coed overnight camp features swimming, "the Blob", 100 foot water slide, 32 foot high climbing wall, hiking, canoeing, sports, crafts, skits, low ropes, talent shows, Bible Study, and amazing worship.  We seek to provide campers with an exciting summer that produces growth spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically.



Our Camping Program is designed to develop an awareness of and appreciation for God's world and our place in it, to foster opportunities for Christian worship and fellowship, and to provide experiences living in a Christian community. Above all, our goal is to lead our children to Jesus Christ -  not by words only - but our actions.



Our carefully selected Christian staff provides a program designed to train young people in the way they should go. At the same time, the caring and fun staff demonstrates to campers the true joy of being a Christian.  At Camp Istrouma we live out our motto: Developing Disciples, Forming Friendships and Impacting Lives Forever!



Our campers are on a journey that is pushing them towards achievement and a greater understanding of themselves. On this journey they are offered friendship, encouragement, and the adventure of a lifetime.
