Association of Adventist Camp Professionals : Ministry & Evangelism

Check this out! Versacare Foundation GRANTS for STEM CAMP.

START YOUR OWN STEM CAMP - AKA STEAM As part of you 2026 summer camp ministry, consider offering a STEM (or STEAM) Camp for those young people who might otherwise choose not to come to camp…or to expand options for those campers who enjoy Science, Technology, Engineering and Math along with conceptualizing and creating (the 'A' for Art).

YES, YOU CAN AFFORD THIS! Versacare Foundation is providing 35 grants to SDA Summer Camps of $3500 each. The Official DEADLINE to apply is September 30. Any grants not used by that date would remain available. However, to plan for Summer Camp 2026, you probably won’t want to wait.

C.A.M.P. - Calling All Members to Prayer

2026 is the 100th Anniversary of Camp Ministry in North America. On Sunday of each week, beginning in December of this year, we will feature one or two camps which we, as fellow camp professionals, will lift up in prayer. Each camp is encouraged to put together information (see sample outline) that can be shared with the AACP members including such things as their history, former camp directors, current projects, and special prayer requests. If you really want to dig into your history as part of the 100th anniversary, click here for a sample camp history as well as how to access Adventist Archives which has a wealth of information.

So when is my camp going to be featured? FIND OUT HERE.

You can put this information on your camp's website and/or email it to terry@leonimeadows.org to be included during your assigned week. An email will go out to the membership each Sunday with the information you submit to Terry along with your camp's website address. Contact Terry if you have questions or need more information. He will be the one sending out the information for your camp.
