Our Mission, Vision, and Goals
Our Mission Statement
Encountering Christ, Encountering Community, Encountering Creation
Our Mission
We strive to deepen Christian commitment, establish lifelong friendships, intensify our personal relationship with God, celebrate the presence of God within us and around us, and through an awareness of nature awaken an understanding attitude of respect and reverence for all life. This is accomplished through exploration of our natural environment, daily reflections, adventures and spiritually dynamic programs combined with community living to foster friendship, faith and fun.
Our Vision
Camp Encounter is an organization that provides exceptional experiences for children, teens, and adults, where they encounter a vibrant, Christian community in the beauty of the natural world. We teach our campers to thrive and bestow the tools needed to navigate their world, by relevant faith experiences.
