Our Camp

Greg Lyons (Executive Director) and Jay-R Rufin (International’s Camp Director) want the main focus of every camp to be the Gospel. They make sure that it is presented throughout the entire camp experience. It begins on the bus to camp, for the five-hour bus ride gives time to share Gospel centric music and written material. Once arriving to camp, the campers experience an orientation that displays the love of Jesus. The welcoming spirit of all the volunteers and leaders expressing love and compassion for each young person as they settle in dorms with Gospel verses posted throughout the area. The sessions are all filled with different media presentations of the Gospel and the need for a Savior. During the message, the Gospel is presented visually with drama, through the worship, and a Gospel message. Campers who respond to the message are met individually by trained counselors. And through this process, lives are changed! The next meal, each camper who responded to the Gospel during the previous session, is counseled again about assurance of salvation, baptism, and how to find a local church. Yes, the campers have lots of fun in the lake, on the ropes course or sliding down the massive slide but the real life change happens when the Gospel is shared.
