Camp Conquest

At Camp Conquest, we believe a week of summer camp is one of the most effective tools for evangelism and discipleship available to the church today. By engaging adult volunteers and staff in inter-generational ministry with children and teens, camp provides a setting where the next generation can grow through anxiety and social pressures to rise up as leaders and contributors who bring peace to our culture.

Although camp is open to anyone in our community, we are closely associated with the Charis Fellowship of Churches and remain committed to our deeply held religious convictions.

Camp Conquest began in 1959, when one man purchased a farm to serve troubled boys and another was called to lead programs for children and teens in the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches. In 1966, these two ventures merged, and by 1970, programs began on the current property. Today over 150 volunteers and 40 staff serve over 700 children and youth at camp each summer.

This year, every gift will go directly toward an investment fund for seasonal staff support. By helping us increase wages for our summer staff, you are investing in the young adults who pour themselves into discipling campers, leading activities, and serving faithfully all summer long. They are on the front lines of ministry, and your support makes it possible for them to serve with excellence and endurance.

Examples of how your gift will be used:

• $600 covers a weekly salary for one summer staff member
• $50 covers one week of meals for one staff member
