Our Why
Building a place where kids can be themselves and grow in their faith

Lylewood History
Arch & Edwina Lyle
Lylewood exists today thanks to the generous donation of 17 acres by Arch and Edwina Lyle in 1966. Their vision was to create a place where young people could learn the Gospel and form lasting relationships. We proudly carry on their dream by continually building and growing Lylewood into a space that serves our community. Today, we host camps for local churches and rent our campgrounds to larger congregations, all with the shared purpose of spreading the Gospel and expanding the Kingdom.
What Our Campers Are Saying
Lylewood feels like my second home because of the incredible friendships I’ve built there. It’s a place where I’m surrounded by people eager to learn and grow in their faith, and there’s no better way to do that than together at camp. From endless laughter to deepening my relationship with God, Lylewood will always hold a special place as my summer home.
Piper Bilbrey
The best part about Lylewood is the people. The love and dedication that people have for this place and devotion to replicating their experience for the generations who are attending camp now and in the future. When you’re at camp you’re surrounded by people who are striving to represent Christ and you leave wanting to do the same.
Emma Bitting
Camp is where I developed my own faith and determined that God is real and I have fallen in love with it. It was the first place I taught a Bible lesson. Camp is where I have matured the most, and where I feel closest to our creator. I love being able to put my phone aside and focus on the “right now” instead of what is to come. I can escape the distractions of the world with my closest family in Christ. Camp is a staple of my faith, camp is home.
