Birchwood Camp is nestled quietly between the Chugach Mountains and the Cook Inlet– Our 35 acre Psalm lake is surrounded by 160 acres of pristine Alaskan forest. This serene setting invites guests to let go of the stress and chaos of everyday life and retreat to a special place of peace and tranquility.

We offer several dynamic faith based camping programs for children and youth focused on building community and faith formation. These camping programs are sponsored by the United Methodist Church but are open to all. 

Birchwood Camp also provides year round retreat facilities for a large number of community organizations, schools and churches.  Please visit our facilities page to see the many services and rental options we offer.  

Our goal is one of opening our doors to all groups both religious and secular without regard to their denominational affiliations. We strive to offer hospitality which includes adapting our facilities, our schedules, and our hearts and minds to those who might be different from ourselves. Our vision is to offer a place apart from the everyday world where people can come to refresh and to renew.
