Vision

To be a creative and compelling witness to Jesus Christ by unlocking the radical power of youth to embody inclusive love, transform each other & and their communities and take their experiences out into the world.

Core Values

Christ is at the center of all we do. Each of us seeks to be a compelling witness to Jesus.We are aware, sensitive and accepting of all people where ever they are in their spiritual journey.

We seek to offer a life impacting experience for every person (campers and staff) involved in our summer camp experience.

We strive for this Christian camp experience to make a difference in the world upon the campers and staff return to their congregations and communities.

We will live together at camp in a “community way” of clear expectations, agreement and mutual accountability and care for one another.

We will all agree to live by our stated covenant and all will be accountable to that agreement.

We expect to live in a camp environment that fosters unconditional welcome, acceptance and extraordinary respect.

The staff will seek to serve Christ in all persons and to respect the dignity of every human being.

We will proclaim by word and example the Good News of Jesus Christ through fun, joy and celebration.

We will speak the truth in love for the purpose of building up the body in Christ.

At Camp Cross, we are dedicated to building the Kingdom of God by cultivating in our guests the capacity to pray, serve and care for one another with the respect that all people deserve.
