2007 Kids Mission Camp

Kids Missions Camp: coed, grades 4-9 - Jonah Ministries hosts this missions camp for kids who already have an interest in missions. Partnered with WorldVenture, and a host of great missionaries, this camp answers the question, "Does God want me to be a missionary?" Informational Flyer

Vision

Our vision is to help churches and parents develop missional kids who have God's heart for the world.

History

Kid's Missions Camp started in 2001 out of a dream that founder, Doug Hazen, had to help raise up missionaries for the 2020's and 2030's. Doug realized two things that motivated him to start this camp. First, many of our present missionaries were called by God when they were children. Children often have a soft heart for God. Second, most children don't have the exposure to missionaries and missions in general that children 15 or 20 years ago enjoyed. So, in partnership with Jonah Ministries and Karen Neumann, a children's mission resource specialist and former missionary, Kid's Missions Camp was launched. Growth has been steady and presently we are helping two churches from other parts of the Northwest start their own camps. We want to see this idea spread to churches and camps all over the United States.

Promo for Kids

Imagine a camp that just talks about missions! Oh, that's not all that happens at this camp. There are tons of activities like water sports, night games, hikes, caves and interactive games. But the main thing you get is meeting real live missionaries and real people from other countries. You get to "visit" other countries, hear about their cultures, and maybe eat some of their food. You learn about world religions and find out how God is reaching people all over the world. Boring? Not at all! How would you like to board an "airplane" and fly to four countries around the world? We did that last year complete with passports, visas, but NO shots!! Or how would you like to go to camp thinking you were going to learn about refugees only to find out you BECAME one? Yup! Happened at Missions Camp a couple of years ago. How about having a missionary from Japan hook up his laptop and web cam and do sign language with his Japanese colleagues in Japan. Yes, we did that. Or how about having a missionary pilot fly his plane in and tell you all about missionary aviation. Oh yeah… we've done that TWICE. Getting into the mind of a Hindu, Buddhist or Muslim, having a missionary skydiver tell you about facing risk, enjoying a huge Chinese banquet, meeting a big, tall (7 ft?) Sudanese pastor, drinking tea with a story telling missionary from North Africa, and on and on and on. We've done it all and the kids who have come keep coming back. This is one COOL camp! The only thing missing is YOU!

Kids Mission Camp 2007

It's another winner. This year's Missions Camp will introduce you to several kids from around the world. You'll hear the stories of three or four real kids who live their lives in desperate situations. Some have lost their parents in a terrible war. Some live with families afflicted with AIDS. Some are "untouchables"; despised by their countrymen and regarded as worthless. You'll meet them in their stories. But that is only the beginning. Missions Camp will be an adventure of what you do with what you hear. Is it possible that you could make a difference in the life of one of these kids who lives on the other side of the world? Yes! "KIDS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!" We'll show you how and you'll never forget the experience.

Oh yes… plan on the usual great activities as well. Night games will be back, snack shack, a cool water activity, piles of other games, missionaries, nationals and a bunch of other very cool campers. And wait until you see what we are going to do each evening! DON'T MISS IT!!
