Faith-Based Youth Organizations At ACE Adventure Resort

Experiential Outdoor Ministry created opportunities for shared experiences, building relationships, breaking down walls, and establishing new beginnings. ACE Adventure Resort offers faith-based ministries a location and the resources to create a safe and secure environment, challenging activities, and inspiring experiences without the cost of infrastructure and staffing.

Over the past 40+ years ACE has been the “go-to” place for people of faith to create Summer Camps, Retreats, Family Days at the Waterpark, Wednesday night youth group outings, and a Fun Day as part of a mission trip.

The Event Area on the mountain provides a gathering space and stage area for large one-day event, or multi-day camps. Deer Hollow, the location of ACE’s Bunkhouses, can be a private space for you to lodge, gather for games, morning and evening worship, and meals.

Great Activities for Youth Groups

ACE is proud to host over a dozen activities right on-site! Zipline on the only zipline course with views of the New River Gorge, mountain bike, rock climb, play paintball, and so much more! Check out one of our teambuilding trips, like the Alpine Tower and Mud Obstacle course, to bring your group closer. Or, take on a whitewater rafting trip. We welcome all faiths and beliefs and ACE!  

Every day can begin or end at the Waterpark with meals served at the outdoor Kingfisher Pavilion. A morning or end of the day hike to Concho Overlook provides an opportunity for intimate conversation along the trail and a coming together of your group on the Concho Overlook deck or at Finn’s Falls.

Book a guided hike or venture out on your own on the trails of the New River Gorge National Park or the 35+ miles of trails on ACE’s property. You can even expand your adventures by choosing a hike from the WV Tourism Waterfall Trail, Meadow River Trail, or the Needle’s Eye Bouldering Park.

Reserve a multi-day custom trip using the non-profit group rates or consider the New River Gorge High Adventure Package that includes:

• 5 nights of primitive camping
• 2 half-day waterpark passes
• 5 guided activities
• 6-piece patch set

Wonderland Waterpark

Play your way at Wonderland Waterpark! Many groups who are just visiting for a day, including local church youth groups, choose to spend the day playing at Wonderland Waterpark! This 5-acre spring fed lake is a playground like no other. Bounce across the lake on one of the dozens of inflatable obstacles. Then, blob your friends as high as you can! Zipline into the lake, and try out one of the waterslides. If you want to stay dry, a playground for smaller kiddos is available, as well as beach volleyball, giant chess, and plenty of chairs to relax on. Groups can easily spend a whole day at the lake, but half-day passes are also available!

Host a Concert or Service for your Faith Based Youth Organization

Need event space? We have that, too! At the top of ACE’s property, you’ll find our spacious campground, which we’ve appropriately named “Mountaintop Campground”. You’ll also find our event space. With room for over 2,000 people, this event space and concert venue can host groups of all sizes. Rent this space for services, or host a concert right here! Bathrooms and electrical hookups are available, and we can customize this space for your group-including serving meals in this area. Rent the whole area, including the surrounding campsites, and you can host your group’s summer camp or church camp here!
