Disciples Crossing Camp and Conference Center

DISCIPLES CROSSING CAMP AND CONFERENCE CENTER IS A BEAUTIFUL NON-PROFIT CAMPGROUND SITUATED ON 534 WOODED ACRES OUTSIDE ATHENS, TEXAS, BETWEEN TYLER AND CORSICANA.

Since 1947 we've welcomed over 340,000 guests through our gates for retreats, summer camps, outdoor education, weddings, leadership training, family reunions, & more.

Our facilities consist of dorm-style sleeping quarters, meeting rooms, a dining hall, and numerous outdoor recreation options including a swimming pool, multiple lakes, sports equipment and fields, and more.

Disciples Crossing consists of two separate camps split by highway 31: the "Main Camp" and "Creative Camp". The Main Camp is our original property on the east-bound side of the road where our office is located and most events take place. The Creative Camp offers a more rustic camp experience with screened-in shelters, RV hookups, and more, on the west-bound side of highway 31.

We offer guests programming that supports our organizational mission through faith-based and age-appropriate curriculum, as well as facilities rentals for groups that wish to provide their own programming.
