Mission
Tall Oaks Camp and Conference Center serves and cares for guests of all ages, genders, races, religious affiliations, and sexual orientations and identities. Through its facilities, services, and programs, TOCC fosters personal growth and renewal, relaxation and recreation, leadership formation, and learning.
Camp to me is one of the most special places I have ever experienced. Tall Oaks has given me my closest friends, developed my leadership skills, and has grown my faith in ways unimaginable. Camp is one of the few places I truly feel at home and at peace.

Camp is a place where everyone knows they can be themselves and let loose the pressures of the outside world. When you are at camp it's as if the outside world is put on pause.
Tristan Jordan
For me, camp has always been a building block in my faith. It's hard to not feel God's presence when you're there. Camp has not only been my second home, but given me hope in my generation that we are more than just what culture tells us to be.
