Cedar Camp is a church camp on approximately 800 acres in LaClede County
Missouri that hosts children from all over the world during the summertime.
Committed to the environment and providing the best possible camping
experience, the camp is continuously expanding and making improvements.

discharge system. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources and LaClede
County required a cleanup of the site and an engineered replacement system that
would bring the camp’s wastewater treatment to commercial property standards.
