About the host

I am the Director of Guest Services for Disciples Crossing Camp and Conference center.

We have 5 other full-time staff who may be your on-site contact but I handle all booking inquiries.
Disciples Crossing is a non-profit campground hosting everything from summer camps and retreats for children and youth, to family reunions, family/individual getaways, private events, outdoor ed, field trips, weddings, and more!
Why they chose this property
Our property was originally a private retreat, Camp Underwood, owned by Arch and Minnie Underwood. Camp Undy, as it was affectionately named, was host to an impressive guest list including numerous state and national politicians and the origins of the Southwestern Conference coaches.
Camp Underwood became The Christian Youth Foundation in 1947 when the property was purchased by several districts of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). In the year 2000, the Board of Directors decided to re-name the camp Disciples Crossing.
We hope you enjoy your stay, and have a chance to experience the peace and respite of our beautiful campground.
