Salvation Army camping programs provide thousands of children each year with an opportunity to learn more about themselves and the world around them, enjoy nature, participate in sports, make new friends, learn new skills and have fun in a healthy, safe and caring Christian environment. Salvation Army camping programs, both regional and local, result in positive long-term relationships with other campers who live often in the same community and make children and parents aware of facilities available to them even in their own community. Salvation Army camping focuses on the children who attend and ensures a strong investment and follow-up in campers.
