We are excited about the opportunity for your child to attend camp with us this summer. Mission Springs has a tradition of being an incredibly fun and life-changing place for kids. With an action-packed week of endless activities, non-stop excitement, with an emphasis on growing closer to God, it is no wonder why campers come back year after year. The camp experience is often among the most significant for youth, and we have a strong commitment to insuring that your child has the best experience possible while they are with us at camp.
Our core value is as follows: To lead youth to Christ in a safe and nurturing environment. To accomplish this, we put the highest value on the physical and emotional safety of your child. That is why our program and facilities are designed with safety in mind and why we hire only the most qualified college-age staff to counsel and instruct your child. Among the most important of those qualifications are a deep love for Christ, common sense, and a commitment to children. We put each applicant through a rigorous interview process to insure that only the best are hired to work at Mission Springs. With a 3-to-1 camper-to-staff ratio, campers not only get to know their counselor but also many of the 80-plus staff who work each summer at Frontier.
So, whether your child is coming to camp for the first time or is returning as a veteran, they are in for the time of their life.
