Our Mission
“Experiencing God’s love, enriching lives, and creating a supportive environment surrounded by the beauty of the Flint Hills.”
At White Memorial Camp, we believe everyone deserves a place to belong, an opportunity to grow, and the freedom to discover something wonderful about themselves.
Rooted in faith and guided by a spirit of hospitality, our mission comes to life through meaningful experiences, genuine connections, and a deep appreciation for the natural world. We welcome people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and abilities, creating space for adventure, reflection, friendship, and personal growth.
Because the most meaningful thing we offer isn't an activity, a cabin, or even a beautiful lakeside view. It's the opportunity to feel connected, valued, and completely welcome.
Discover the Heart of the Kansas Flint Hills
Wide-open landscapes. Small-town charm. An unforgettable place to get away.

Set along the shores of Council Grove Lake, White Memorial Camp offers a beautiful home base for discovering this remarkable region. Spend your days exploring scenic trails, enjoying outdoor recreation, discovering local shops and restaurants, or simply taking in the quiet beauty of one of America's last remaining tallgrass prairie landscapes.
Just beyond the camp, historic Council Grove and the surrounding Flint Hills offer countless reasons to extend your stay.
