Why We Serve...

 At Camp Good News, we believe every child deserves the chance to hear about the love of Jesus Christ in a way they can understand.
We exist to be a light in a world that desperately needs hope — and we do it by creating a place where kids experience God's love through fun, friendship, and faith.
When you step into service here, you're stepping into God's story of redemption — and you're helping to change lives for eternity.
Come be part of the mission. Come be part of the miracle.

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!
