What if one week could change a child’s eternity… and yours?
For over 70 years, Camp Good News® has been a place where children experience fun, friendship, and the life-changing message of the Gospel. Each summer, campers (ages 7–13) spend a week growing in faith, building friendships, and hearing clearly how they can know Christ as Savior.
But camp doesn’t just happen.
It takes believers who are willing to step up and say:
“Use me.”
If you’re a born-again believer, active in your local church, and looking for a summer that matters — this may be exactly what you’ve been praying for.
Why Serve at Camp?
1️⃣ Eternal Impact
Every Bible lesson, every cabin conversation, every late-night prayer time matters. God uses camp to draw children to Himself year after year.
2️⃣ Real Leadership Experience
You won’t just “help out.” You will:
Lead small groups
Mentor children
Serve alongside a unified ministry team
Have FUN!
This is hands-on ministry experience.
3️⃣ Christian Community
You’ll serve with like-minded believers who love Christ and love kids. Many of our staff form friendships that last long after summer ends.
4️⃣ Joy That Exhausts You (in the Best Way)
Camp is full days and big energy, but it is deeply joyful work!
