DIRECTIONS TO ALL WAYCROSS FACILITIES

Because of constant construction and road closures it is best to GPS your trip with the physical address (above) before you head out. If that is not an option, or you just enjoy old fashion instructions, you can find those below. Safe travels!

From the north through Indianapolis:  Take I-465 E. Take exit 4 for IN-37 S/Harding St. Stay in the left two lanes to turn onto IN-37 S at the stoplight. Stay on IN-37 S for 22 miles, at this point it will turn into I-69/IN-37 S, stay on it. Take the exit for IN-252 E. At the traffic circle, take the 2nd exit onto IN-252 E. At the first light turn right onto Cramertown Loop/Loop Rd. In a half mile turn right onto Grand Valley Blvd. In another half mile turn left onto Artesian Ave, stay on this road for a mile. At the stop sign turn left onto E Mahalasville Rd. You’ll stay on this for 5 miles. Where the road comes to a sort of T you’ll turn right onto Bear Wallow Rd. Bear Wallow will eventually turn into Bear Creek Rd and also become gravel. Follow this until you come to a stop sign and a T in the road. You will see signs for Waycross. To go to the conference center turn left and the entrance will be on your right. To go to the main camp turn right and the entrance will be on your left.

From the southwest through Evansville and Bloomington:  Get onto I-69 N and follow that until you get into Bloomington and exit 120 A. Get in the left lane and at the second light turn left onto N Walnut Street. At the first stoplight turn right onto Old State Rd 37. Stay on this road until you turn right on Robinson Road. It will be just past the New Prospect Baptist Church. Stay on Robinson Road until you come to the stop sign. (It’s a long road, when you pass Butler Winery you won’t have much left.) Turn left at the sign onto Tunnel Road. Stay on this until you turn right on South Shore Dr. You’ll pass The Bridge Church of Christ and have a sharp left curve not far before it. If you miss this turn Tunnel becomes a dead end with Lake Lemon at the bottom. Stay on South Shore for a long time. You’ll come to a stop sign with railroad tracks, keep going straight. The next stop sign you come to turn left onto SR 45. Stay on SR 45 for just a little bit, you’ll pass by a pond on each side and just before the large right curve you’ll want to turn left (it feels more like going straight then turning left) across the railroad tracks onto Bear Creek Rd. Just over the railroad tracks, the road curves left and then a short distance further, North Shore Drive turns to the left and Bear Creek Road goes straight. Stay straight on Bear Creek Road. At the next stop sign turn left to stay on Bear Creek Rd. Go to “Continuing Directions to Waycross”

From the Southeast through New Albany and Jeffersonville:  Take I-65 North to the State Road (SR) 46 exit at Columbus. Take SR 46 west toward Nashville. In Nashville, at the second traffic light (by CVS), turn right (north) on SR 135 (Van Buren St) which goes through downtown Nashville. Follow SR 135 to Bean Blossom. Turn left onto SR 135 in Bean blossom just past St. David’s Episcopal Church and just before the Dollar General. Follow SR 45 to the stop sign at the railroad tracks. Turn left at the stop sign and continue to follow SR 45 through Helmsburg. About two miles past Helmsburg, SR 45 makes a sharp left curve. At that curve, look for the Waycross sign and turn right onto Branstetter Road. (This will be across from C&C Equipment which has large machinery out front). Continue on Branstetter for about ¼ mile until you come to a stop sign. At the stop sign continue straight onto Bear Creek Road. Go to “Continuing Directions to Waycross”.

CONTINUING DIRECTIONS TO WAYCROSS

Follow Bear Creek Road about three miles to Waycross (the last part is gravel). You’ll pass by Lutheran Hills Camp, Walnut Hills Retreat, and Gallahue Girl Scout Camp before coming up to Waycross on your right.

You will pass by the entrance to Hickory Hill and the Youth Lodge, to Camp, the Assembly Building, and finally the Conference Center. Please check in at the Conference Center unless you have been given different meeting instructions by your group leader.

BACK WAY TO WAYCROSS--SHORTER BUT ON COUNTY ROADS: (Not recommended during inclement weather.)

South on 37 to Martinsville.

At the Bigfoot Shell, turn left onto Mahalasville Road.

Stay on Mahalasville Road through Mahalasville. Cross the bridge and follow the road about a quarter mile.  When Mahalasville Road curves sharply to the left, turn right onto Bear Wallow Road.  (It will look like a T in the road.)

Follow Bear Wallow to Waycross.  It will turn to gravel when you cross the county line.  You will pass Bear Lake on your right about a mile from Waycross.  At the "T" intersection near Waycross you will see the Waycross signs.  Turn left and come to the office at the Conference Center or right to go to camp.

It's about 12 miles from the Bigfoot Shell to Waycross.
