Get Involved at Camp Good News!
LOVE GOD? LOVE HIS WORD? A HEART FOR CHILDREN?
Are you ready to be part of something eternal?
At Camp Good News, we believe God uses willing hearts to change lives forever — and your gifts, time, and faith can make an incredible impact.
Each summer, we reach out to over 60,000 children across two counties — many hearing the life-changing message of Jesus Christ for the very first time. You can help bring that hope to them!
Whether you're a young person eager to grow, or an adult ready to lead and serve, there's a place for you at Camp Good News.
Come and be part of the mission — and watch God work through you!
