Since 1959, Camp Ondessonk has provided children and children-at-heart the opportunity to experience first hand the beauty of God's creation.  Located in the Shawnee National Forest of Southern Illinois, Camp Ondessonk provides an experience which encourages campers to have fun, grow spiritually, make friends, grow in self-confidence and self-esteem, and develop values.  All of Camp's programs focus on providing a safe, fun, and enriching experience for participants by encouraging them to participate in a wide variety of new and exciting activities in a non-competitive atmosphere.
Camp Ondessonk offers programs serving many different groups throughout the year.  During the fall, winter, and spring we offer outdoor education programs to school and youth groups, challenge and high ropes courses, conference and retreat facilities, and a variety of special interest weekends and Open Houses.
A great camping experience requires more than just a facility and a program. One of Camp Ondessonk's greatest strengths is the large number of staff and volunteers that work throughout the year to facilitate and support our programs. Our staff and volunteers are positive role models who are committed to helping participants grow spiritually and emotionally.
