A question that is at the root of our ministry is; Why? Why do we do it? Why do we come back year after year?  Why do we believe in camping as a viable ministry in the life of the church and the denomination?

Why? The answer is really simple,

• We do it to be a place where children are cared for, where they are nourished and loved with the patience and tenderness of Jesus.
• We are a place that has a passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ – where the POWER of that gospel is evident, where it is spoken about, where it is seen and cherished.
  • The POWER to lift up the fallen and the hurt.
  • The POWER to heal the sick and the sick in spirit, to heal hearts that have been broken
  • The POWER to restore dreams that have been shattered by life, or even death
  • The POWER to change lives for the better, to transform people into the image of Jesus Christ
  • The POWER to give hope to those who have no hope.
• Because we want to be a place where adults and children are taught real Bible based skills for living a life of abundance, where children are taught to obey their parents, to respect their elders and to honor God because this is His order of design.
• We aim to be a place where young people are shown how to honor God with everything they have. Where teenagers are given opportunities to shine. To share their love of God with children and their love of children with God. We are a place where young leaders are given responsibilities, where they are allowed to make mistakes and gently and lovingly shown the right way.
• We are a place where the Spirit of God is almost tangible, where God’s presence can be felt and seen in the faces of all those who love him.
• We are a place where families can come and be ministered to, as families. Where they can enjoy God’s creation, hear the Word of God and just be cared for.
• We are a place where the Truth is taught about God with compassion, even when it is uncomfortable or inconvenient.
• And lastly; The Quest is not simply about FUN, although fun is a bi-product. It is not simply about baby-sitting kids for a week or two in the summer. It is not about learning to ski, or wakeboard, or learning to shoot an arrow straight. It’s not simply about learning about plants and animals, water safety, camping canoeing and wall climbing or drama or gaining self confidence or anything else you will find at a great summer camp. It is all these things and more, it is about drawing everyone who comes through our gates at least one step closer to Jesus Christ.
