Our Mission

Mission Statement

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."

~Colossians 2: 6-8

What is CAMPS?

CAMPS is a ministry to youth with a mission:


  1. That all participants come to a saving, personal relationship with Jesus Christ
  2. That Christian community be formed and lived
  3. That continued spiritual growth and commitment be fostered

The CAMPS mission is realized through staff members who form a community of people working together. This community is made up of individuals who love Christ, have a personal relationship with Him, and a desire to live and spread His Good News. These individuals are dedicated to their own spiritual growth and to know, love, and serve Christ in many and convincing ways. Worship, personal prayer and devotions, faith sharing, and Bible study are part of their lives. They are unambiguous Christian disciples. They do not live segmented lives, giving some time to God, some time to school, work, or business, while keeping parts to themselves. They live their lives in the presence of God under His authority and for His honor and glory! This is what the Christian life is all about.

LIFE CHANGE

We are so grateful to the many families that have trusted us with campers over the years. We value the opportunity to lead them and don’t take lightly the responsibility we have to point them towards God. We come to fulfill a calling to lead students into life changing relationships with Jesus Christ.

Jesus is our lead story

In fact, Jesus is our only story.

He is preeminent in our hearts and central in all we do. We believe Jesus is unrivaled in history and eternity. He is God and He is good; glorious both now and forever. His name is the only name that saves. His power is the only power that can raise us from the dead. Ultimately, we want people to meet Jesus. That is why we say we are CAMPS - Christ As My Personal Savior. We are a Jesus Ministry. A passionate tribe of followers connected by our common faith and a deep desire to tell youth and adults about Christ and how He has changed everything - including their lives, their identities, and their futures.
