Welcome to Camp Cedar Crest

​Camp Cedar Crest is located in Monroe County Missouri on Route ZZ approximately 15 miles North of Mexico, MO, tucked away on 108 beautiful wooded acres. We are off the beaten path and have the perfect hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the large cities but still close enough to small town charm, in Santa Fe, Perry, and the Mark Twain Lake area.

​Our rustic, back to nature setting, provides us rolling hills, valleys, bluffs, a lake, and streams. Add to that our abundant Cedars which try to be outnumbered by the many varieties of Oak and Hickory. There are several trails to explore, a lake for fishing & swimming, and a RV park with full hookups. All buildings are air conditioned.   
   
With our roots established in 1939, Camp Cedar Crest has continued with the vision to provide a peaceful setting where individuals and groups alike can retreat from the daily rush of life, revive their spirits, and renew their faith as they spend time away with God.

Whether it be Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, we invite you to come. Camp Cedar Crest has a rich history of service to church groups, community groups, association camps and more. We encourage you to allow us to be that place of retreat, where you are revived and feel renewed in your faith.
