Welcome to the Hemlock Wilderness Brigade Camp on the Web!

Hemlock Wilderness Brigade Camp (HWBC) (often called "Camp Hemlock") is a Christian Service Brigade camp for boys and girls ages 6 to 18. We are located about 2 hours west of the Washington, DC area in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia (Trout Run Rd, Wardensville WV 26851).

The purpose of HWBC is to use God's created environment to teach children self-reliance, leadership, and outdoor skills, while highlighting the practical truths of God's Word.

Hemlock is a relatively small camp where your child receives the individual, God-centered attention that he or she needs. We hope that you will become part of our camping family, too.  We invite you to explore the Hemlock website to learn more about our camp.
