As a nonprofit camping ministry, Cascades Camp and Conference Center has helped people of all ages open their hearts to experience new life in Christ. With its pristine beauty and peaceful, protected setting in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, children and adults alike can take a break from the struggles of everyday life, find hope and renew their faith in Jesus Christ.

Built upon the vision and faith of previous generations, Cascades has provided a rich spiritual environment where countless people have enjoyed life-changing experiences since 1989. Children have met important role models who have encouraged them and helped shape their futures. Marriages have been strengthened. And through the ministry opportunities available at Cascades, many have chosen to dedicate their lives to serving the Lord full-time.

Developed on nearly 1,000 acres of Western Washington wilderness, Cascades offers lush green forests, lakefront enjoyment, and breathtaking views of Mt. Rainier. Spring fed Elbow Lake is ideal for canoeing and swimming while the Nisqually River, with its origins from the Nisqually Glacier on Mt. Rainier, offers excellent fishing and river rafting.

Located 25 miles east of Olympia and Interstate 5, near Yelm, Washington, Cascades offers year-round retreat facilities only an hour and a half drive from Seattle, and a two hour drive from Portland, Oregon. It's a convenient weekend retreat destination from many Washington and Oregon locations.
