Camp Walter Johnson

Camp Walter Johnson in Davidson County, NC has provided children a place to explore since 1974.

Camp Is Calling

In 1974, The Salvation Army was blessed to open Camp Walter Johnson thanks to the contribution of land and resources by local businessman, Walter Johnson. Since that time, The Salvation Army has hosted thousands of children and helped them create memories that last a lifetime. The friendships that are formed at camp are transformative. Children learn about who God created them to be in a safe and loving community. And, they connect with nature in a way that we often lose when in the middle of our cities and towns.

Each summer, youth from many Salvation Army units all over the Carolinas come to Camp Walter Johnson for a week that can literally change their lives.

Creating New Boundaries
Our facilities and our conscientious staff help children explore their sense of adventure. In the process they often learn important lessons about who they are and who they want to become. Whether at the waterfront, on the ball field, or on the high ropes course, children can safely face their fears.

Helping Kids Grow
We do more than provide three square meals a day and lead children in games. We encourage children to participate in developmentally appropriate games and tasks that are designed to teach them important lessons, all within a larger context of what it means to be a child of God.

Spiritual Connection
Above all, we see a design spark — God's own handiwork — in each child that attends our summer camp program. The Salvation Army recognizes that we are all made in God's image and encourages children to connect with God in their own way during their stay at camp.
