Our Core Values
Faith Formation: People yearn for God, long to experience the love of Christ, and seek a spiritual center. Camp offers settings of great natural inspiration where people experience Christian community.
Volunteers: We value volunteers in all aspects of our ministries. We depend on people to contribute their gifts, time, and energy in ways that truly make a difference.
Excellence: We provide high quality, effective, responsive ministries because those we serve and those who support us count us to do so. We pay close attention to protecting children, and provide safe spaces for people to have new experiences.
Compassion: We care deeply about all God’s children and are motivated by God’s love to bring hope, love, and joy to people of all ages and needs.
Leadership: We encourage innovative approaches that creatively leverage the skills, knowledge, and resources entrusted to us.
Teamwork: We value partnerships and collaboration with others who share a common mission. We develop teams with board members, staff, volunteers, donors, parents, campers, churches, other Christian denominations, faith-based groups, community organizations and schools. Together we can enrich life in the world.
Care for the Earth: It matters that we are “Outdoor Ministries.” We value the spiritual, and Biblical roots of our faith that teach the sacredness of creation, and stewardship as vital to discipleship.
