Camp Dixie is a place where campers, counselors, and staff members are able to grow spiritually, physically, emotionally and intellectually, in a positive way by experiencing, reflecting and evaluating in an outdoor-based Christ centered program.
Camp Dixie is a waterfront summer camp and retreat facility located on Perdido Bay in Elberta, Alabama near Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Foley Alabama.
Camp Dixie was started in 1952 by the Lutheran Layman's League at five area congregations. The congregations range from Mobile, AL in the west to Pensacola, FL in the east.
The mission of Camp Dixie is to help Church, Community, and Youth find time away from the usual busyness of life to spend time outdoors in prayer, study, and recreation.
Dixie is more than just a summer camp for kids. The facilities can be rented by individuals, organizations, families, or clubs that are looking for that quiet "get-away" for fun and fellowship or are just looking to get closer to the Lord. Camp Dixie also has a fully furnished house on the property that is available for a weekly rental.
