Our Mission
Our mission is to provide camping programs that assist Christians and their churches in bringing people to Christ and in helping staff and campers to grow in their Christian walk.
We accomplish this through fun, activity oriented camps and have
the following objectives:
-
To provide solid Biblical teaching and guidance to lead any unsaved camper to Jesus Christ
-
To help Christian campers grow in Him, by increasing their understanding of God’s Word, through encouragement, and by example
-
To maintain a healthy and safe environment conducive to the campers’ well being by encouraging cleanliness, providing
excellent food, and having many FUN activities for them to get involved in

Getting Involved
You can get involved in many ways . . .
-
Join us this year as a camper! Catch the fun and excitement of making new friends, playing fun games, and most of all, seeing the love of Jesus Christ through His Word and the Christians that staff each camp.
-
Put up a display or ask us to send you brochures; for you, your friends, or your church.
-
Contact us to visit your church or send you a DVD that shares about the ministry of the Dunes.
-
Support campers financially through Sunday school, AWANAs or in other ways.
-
Being a cabin leader is a great opportunity for young people to minister in a fun and fruitful environment. Cabin leaders often say they get as much out of a week at camp as the campers! Contact the camp for an application to be a cabin leader this year.
-
For youth leaders: bring a team of cabin leaders and other staff to camp. The youth leader provides support, accountability, and experience for the team as they grow and minister together.
-
College teams may send groups to minister, as Corbin (formally Western Baptist) College has done for years.
-
Youth pastors are a great asset to a week of camp. Each year during Jr high week, for example, we have many youth pastors that take leadership positions and bring their youth groups.
-
An obvious way to support the ministry is for a church to send us your youth! Churches have sent from one camper to over 50.
