Founded in 1873, Ruggles Camp embraces the mission of teaching youth to be effective leaders and faithful disciples in the United Methodist tradition. Beginning with “Mini Camps” for youngsters (ages 10-12), Ruggles offers a wide selection of youth camps and retreats, including three levels of confirmation camps (for grades 6-7, grades 8-10, and grades 11-12) each spring, Junior High and Senior High Camps each summer, and District Youth Retreats. One of their most popular summer programs is “Marketplace”, which annually attracts hundreds of children and adults for a Camping with God experience authentically set in biblical times. Located just north of Flemingsburg, in Lewis County , Ruggles Camp and Retreat Center regularly serves congregations and assemblies of the Ashland, Covington, and Lexington Districts and beyond. It hosts regional “Walk to Emmaus” spiritual retreats four times each year, quarterly United Methodist Men events, and provides “After Glow” camps for senior adults.
