Camp Ministry
Minor Overview
Train to Create Camp Experiences That Change Lives
Christian camps are where students encounter Christ, build lifelong friendships, and take meaningful steps in their faith journey. Some students hear God’s calling for the very first time at camp. Others return home with a renewed love for Scripture, the local church, and serving others.
Faith’s Christian Camp Ministry Minor is designed to prepare you to lead those kinds of experiences.
Through classroom instruction, mentorship from experienced camp leaders, and hands-on ministry opportunities, you’ll gain practical skills and real ministry experience that will equip you to serve in Christian camping, student ministry, and local church discipleship.

My main takeaway from this class was the value of humility and asking questions, as I learned so much from many experienced camp directors. The program also helped me grow organizationally, giving me insight into how different organizations work, and I plan to apply these business and leadership skills in future camp, business and ministry roles.
