Connecting the WHOLE Body to the WHOLE Mission
We Have a Camp for That....
Do you know that one kid that just may not "fit" into the standard Junior (JYF) camp program? Do you know a kid who needs camp but can't afford to go and doesn't regularly attend a church? Every region offers great summer/winter camp ministries. Some kids, however, may need or want something that is not in their region, but still offered in another region. A region near you (or not) may offer something one of your kids or youth needs.
Click below to find out more about the "Specialty Camp and Programs" that may be the place for a child or youth to encounter God on a their level. Some of these camps include: Austism Camps, Inner City Camps, Mission Camps, Family Camps, Sailing Camps, Equestrian Camps, High Adventure Camps, Arts Camps, and More!
To find a regional camp near you, check out the regional webpages.

Keep in mind that CAMP IS NOT JUST FOR YOUTH – Most regions have camps that are for young children (Mini, Wee, Discovery, Try It, Genesis, etc.). Some camps even start as young as Pre-School. Often these beginning camper programs include an element for adults to participate. This is the best time and way to help your child engage in one of the most important experiences of their faith. Camp is for everyone, and there is a camp for everyone - and we believe God LOVES camp!
