WHO ARE WE?

LEARN ABOUT CAMP VICTORY MINISTRIES

INSPIRING PEOPLE TO TRUST AND TREASURE JESUS CHRIST

since 1953

Discipleship

OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE WILL LEAD TO FAITH FORMATION | Camp provides opportunity for learning, worship, and discussion to take place often. These are the building blocks of an active and growing faith in Jesus Christ.

Evangelism

OUR RELATIONSHIPS AND PROGRAM WILL PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS | Camp is more than just a camp – it’s a mission field. At our core, camp is meant to proclaim the gospel to all ages with the purpose of building God’s Kingdom.

Community

WE WILL DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS TO FURTHER HIS KINGDOM | Camp community may seem temporary, but its impact lasts forever. Through life shared at camp, we create experiences that grow into lifelong friendships and strengthen the body of Christ.

Our Beliefs

We are a non-profit, non-denominational camp committed to living out scripture. We are committed to staying non-denominational because it allows spread the gospel to a wider group of kids, families, and groups. If you have questions about our stances, click below to read about what we believe.

Transformation

Our mission is to share Jesus’ death and resurrection with everyone through missions and outreach, just as God commanded (Matt. 28:19). Everything we do should point back to God, glorify Him, and praise Him.

Safety First

While we encourage our campers to try new things, we also prioritize their safety first and foremost. Our highly-trained staff are prepared to handle a variety of situations, whether on the High Ropes course, in the river, or in their cabin. We believe that personal growth and development follows a safe environment.

The Honorary Rule

There are plenty of opportunities to have fun while here at Camp Victory. We call “fun” our honorary rule because it is the core of our programs. We believe that fun is just another way we can glorify God while here at Camp Victory.

The Joy of Camp

We talk a lot about experiencing the joy of camp, but what does that mean? Through faith, friends, and fun, everyone should walk away with a greater joy for God, community, and life. We want camp to have a deep impact because camp is more than just a camp–it’s a mission field.

Being Outside

How often do we just go outside? Camp Victory is the perfect opportunity to simply experience the beautiful outdoors. It’s a wonderful way to connect with God!

Our Faith Statement

Camp Victory believes in one God, three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus, fully God and fully man, died for this world and was raised from the dead. His sacrifice paid the price for our sins. Those who believe in Jesus and profess Him as their Savior are justified by His blood.

Our History

Camp Victory was established in 1943 by two AMF (The American Missionary Fellowship) missionaries named John and Ruth Larson. Read our full history by hitting “Explore our History” below.
