Crossways Camping Ministries

09/30/2026

Our Crossways Board of Directors gathered for our Annual Fall Board Retreat this weekend at Imago Dei Village, with additional board members joining remotely. We shared important conversations about where this beautiful ministry is being called next.

We’re grateful for the many gifts, perspectives, experiences, and talents each board member brings to the table, and even more grateful for the deep love they share for Crossways and its ministry.

There’s a lot of listening, dreaming, discernment, and hard work that goes into stewarding this ministry for the future. We’re thankful for this group of people who show up, ask good questions, share their wisdom, and care about the communities we serve and building a strong future!

Thank you, Crossways Board, for your leadership and your love for this place.

The summer camp season may be winding down, but there are still plenty of reasons to come to camp. Registration for our 2026–27 retreat offerings is live, with opportunities for youth groups, churches, families, and others to gather throughout the year.

Take a look at the schedule and find a weekend that works for you. We’d love to see you at camp!

"I just wasn't sure if someone needed it more, so we didn't apply."

I felt it in my heart when she said it.

She hadn't registered her kiddos for camp yet, and they're camp regulars! I had reached out to see if she needed any help with registration. Instead, she shared that some unexpected things had come up for their family, and financially, camp just wasn't going to happen this year.

Not on my watch. I thought. Because I know you.

And I know this Crossways community. And I knew you wouldn't let a long-time camper family fall through the cracks.

And you didn't.

You provided the resources this family needed to weather a hard season without giving up a place where their kids come alive.

That's what scholarships do.
They say, We've got you.
They say, Your kids still belong here.
They say, You don't have to choose between a tough season and a place that matters.

And now, we're asking you to help us do it all again.

Your gifts matter all the time. But if you give now, you help us reach 50 people surrounding our camper families. We’re just 5 gifts away from unlocking a matching bonus for our scholarship fund.

That means more "yeses" to campers.
More "we've got you" to families making tough decisions.
And more kids getting to experience the place where they come alive.

40 Scholarship Partners. Just 10 more to go!

Every time a scholarship gift comes in, so does a story. Each one reminds us why this matters so much.

Camp has been a place where people found friendship, belonging, authenticity, faith, safety, and a deeper understanding of God's love. And now, families who know the power of camp are rallying together to make sure more people can experience it.

We reached our first goal of 35 Scholarship Partners and unlocked our bonus gift!

Now, if we can reach 50 partners, the bonus gift doubles! That's generosity that's hard to pass up. We're at 40 and just need 10 more.

Will you be one of them?

Give in honor of what camp makes possible:
$30 for 30 first-time campers who requested scholarship support
$50 for 50 people saying, “YES! We'll help you experience camp.”
$100 for 100 campers who requested scholarship support
$288 for the average scholarship granted

Every gift helps us say YES to another camper. And what holy, beautiful work that is.

35 people. One shared goal: Wear Love. ❤️

A scholarship can be the reason a camper gets to say yes to camp, and find belonging, joy, and community when they need it most.

We’re looking for 35 scholarship partners. When we reach 35, a generous partner will unlock a bonus gift for camp scholarships!

Will you help us Wear Love by making camp possible for another camper?

This summer, our campers have been living out an invitation from Colossians 3:14: "Above all, wear love."

Every day they've been discovering what it looks like to wear kindness, humility, calmness, steadfastness, and forgiveness.

And here's what we've realized.

Before some campers can wear love at camp, someone else has already worn it for them. A Scholarship Partner.

A generous gift becomes a place at the campfire. A bunk in a cabin. A week where a camper hears, again and again, "You are loved by God."

We see the campers who almost didn't come because money was tight. We see siblings making camp memories together. We see kids discover they belong.

Every one of those stories begins the same way: Someone chose to wear God's love.

Right now, we're looking for 35 Scholarship Partners to help more campers experience that same gift.
