United Church Camps, Inc.
Outdoor Ministry Mission Statement
The Outdoor Ministry program of the Wisconsin Conference, United Church of Christ, creates communities of the Spirit
and preserves sacred spaces for the purpose of spiritual renewal.
United Church Camps, Inc., on behalf of the Wisconsin Conference
and its member churches provides outdoor ministry opportunities for people of all ages,
races, creeds, and abilities to foster growth in relationships with God, others, and the
whole creation.
By bringing people together in times and on lands devoted to spiritual purposes, the
Outdoor Ministry program encourages the sharing of life and faith, and purposefully
renews, affirms, and challenges individuals while building trust and teaching
responsibility for the common life. Its programs instill a greater appreciation and
understanding for others, the natural environment, and the global community.
Outdoor ministry experiences help renew participants and prepare them to
face the joys and challenges of life by making them more sensitive and responsible to
God's call for a world where all things exist together in harmony.
