Welcome to White Memorial Camp and Conference Center an extension of the Kansas Oklahoma United Church of Christ. I am Camp Director, Sara Shaw. Our mission “is to provide hospitality to people of all faiths in and eco-friendly environment that promotes growth in community and Christian faith.” My passion, and the passion of all White Memorial Camp staff and volunteers, is to create a camp experience for all that will teach valuable life skills. Here at camp, we focus on having a positive relationship with God, developing respect and appreciation for nature, improving social skills, building self-esteem and self-confidence in an environment that is safe, nurturing, accepting, and always exciting. We believe White Memorial Camp is a place where you can be you. No matter where you are in life’s journey, you are welcome here! Over the years, camp has changed but our values have not. We are the camp of extravagant welcome; where we open our doors, our hearts, and compassion to all. My staff and I take pride in our facilities, our work, and our campers. As the director, I maintain in personal contact with each camper and counselor throughout the week in an effort to insure them a happy and successful week. I have an open door policy to all campers, parents, guardians, care givers, and staff. I am always looking for ways to improve the camp. If you have suggestions or are interested in helping as a volunteer, please contact me.
