NEXT AT KNOX CREEK
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
OUR VISION
Located in the heart Oconee County, Knox Creek is a world-class camp just waiting to happen! A place where thousands of kids will someday hear the Gospel. Situated in the shadow of iconic Table Rock State Park and bordering the beautiful Sumter National Forest, this stunning property with extraordinary potential is primed to become one of the South’s most popular retreat centers.
NEXT AT KNOX CREEK
Welcome to the heartbeat of Knox Creek’s future. This is where we share the unfolding story of a vision in motion of what God is building through this ministry. As our capital campaign moves forward, we want this space to serve as both a window and a witness: a place to cast the big vision, celebrate progress, and keep you connected to the work happening on the ground.
More Space for More Kids!
With Pioneer Camp now open, Knox Creek has doubled its capacity and its reach. Our work is not done; it is just beginning. We are raising funds for the infrastructure, dining hall, indoor worship venue, and recreational activities that will take Knox Creek from a place where groups can gather to a camp where memories are born.
Infrastructure: As we grow, we need the utilities, roads, and support systems to serve more groups and make room for the facilities still to come.
Dining Hall: A dedicated dining hall will give groups a place to share meals and provide the kitchen facilities needed to accomidate groups and our ministry partners.
Indoor Worship and Gathering Space: An indoor venue will give churches and campus ministries a place for worship, teaching, and fellowship throughout the year, whatever the weather.
Recreation Across the Farm: New activities will give kids more ways to explore the farm, have fun, and build friendships through the shared experiences of camp.
These next steps build upon the facilities we already have with Pioneer Camp and prepare Knox Creek for the years ahead. As we follow God into the future, our purpose remains the same: to build a place where kids can discover the Joy of the Gospel.
PAST: Preparing The Way
In 2020, Knox Creek set out with big dreams and a vision to build a place where kids could discover the Joy of the Gospel. But first, we had to prepare the way. That work began with logging operations on the farm, opening up space for roads, cabins, and the facilities we would need to welcome groups. Little by little, we began transforming 500 acres of potential into a canvas for the Lord to create the camp we now call Knox Creek. While that work was underway, we opened the family cabin to churches and campus ministries, giving us a place to begin serving with what we already had. Over the next five years, we hosted more than 125 retreats and welcomed over 3,500 young people
PRESENT: Pioneer Camp
In 2026, we were blessed to open Pioneer Camp, doubling our capacity and our reach. As our first frontier on the farm, Pioneer Camp marks the next step in building the camp we envisioned in 2020. It includes two cabins with a total of 30 beds, a outdoor worship venue, and a picnic pavilion. These new facilities give churches and campus ministries more room to gather, worship, and spend time together, allowing us to welcome more groups and introduce more young people to the Joy of the Gospel. Pioneer Camp is just the beginning of what we hope to build. Today, we are grateful to put this new space to work and welcome the groups we have been waiting to host.
NEXT: Following God Into the Future
Our work is not done; it is just beginning. As we follow God into the future, the next steps at Knox Creek include building a dining hall, indoor worship venue, and gathering space with the required infrastructure to support our groups. We are also developing recreational spaces and activities that give kids more ways to enjoy camp and spend time together. These additions will allow groups to meet year-round and open the doors for more partners to experience life at Knox Creek.
Stay tuned, stay connected, and thank you for helping bring this vision to life. The best is truly yet to come.
