Our mission at Camp Zion is simple: to follow where God has called us. A few years ago, God laid it on our hearts to organize a youth summer camp; so we did. And within a few months we had the first Camp Zion. We have been so thankful for how God has blessed us along the way. We have seen God work in awesome ways. It is in this same spirit that we continue reaching and teaching whatever youth God brings to us for Camp Zion. We offer a simple camp where youth can be mentored and taught in solid Biblical teachings.
"Therefore go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the
age." -Matthew 18:19-20
There are several areas that God has laid on our hearts to disciple the youth while they are at Camp Zion:
- Teaching through the Word of God: We usually spend 2-4 hours a day digging deeper into Scripture.
- Discipling through mentorship: Each youth will be placed under two good Christian leaders and will be mentored in almost every activity.
- Learning to work together as a team: Kids will be placed on a small team of 8-12 other youth, to learn to encourage and build each other up in their Christian walks.
- Understanding order and discipline: The activities and events at Camp Zion are very structured (leaving little or no time to wander off and get into trouble).
- Exercise: A good portion of the daytime events are sports and other physical activities.
- Fellowship: Meal times at Camp Zion have proven to be an incredible opportunity for kids to fellowship with other youth in God's name.
- Fun: And a lot of it.
