Statement of Faith
Mission
To create Disciples of Christ by providing a safe and fun environment, where campers and retreat groups can grow in their faith, renew, unplug, and develop life skills through intentional programming and spiritual enrichment.
Vision
To bring all persons to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. To encourage and enhance the spiritual and physical development: of individuals and groups through participation in the camp experience.
Purpose
-
To provide opportunities for guiding and nurturing persons in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The program intentionally presents Christ through daily worship experiences and Bible studies in a way that all persons can develop that relationship.
-
To create an environment of Christian fellowship in which campers can develop positive peer relationships and benefit from positive adult role models for Christian faith and practice.
-
To provide an outdoor setting in which camp participants are encouraged to develop an understanding and appreciation of their relationship with both creation and the Creator.
Objective
-
The camp experience is experiential in nature and relationship based. With this in mind the responsibility before us is to prepare a place where ministry can happen by providing:
-
A Place for Everyone – Welcome all individuals, regardless of background or experience, to find community, joy, and purpose at Camp Norwesca.
-
Faith Formation – Provide opportunities for campers to grow in their Christian faith through worship, devotionals, and spiritual guidance.
-
Leadership Development – Cultivate leadership skills in young people through programs like Leaders in Training (LIT) and Counselors in Training (CIT).
-
Outdoor Engagement – Encourage an appreciation for God’s creation through outdoor recreation, adventure, and environmental stewardship.
-
Community & Connection – Foster meaningful relationships among campers, staff, and faith communities to build a strong sense of belonging.
-
Safe & Supportive Environment – Ensure a physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe space where all campers can learn, grow, and thrive.
