Camping Ministry is a church-sponsored or organization-sponsored program of group-living in an outdoor setting designed to win individuals to Christ and to help them grow in Christ. The distinct purpose of a camping ministry is to provide a balanced program of Christian Education in God's great outdoors.

Camps can be valuable for a variety of reasons, including that they provide a 24-hour-a-day experience, an opportunity to appreciate God's creation and a unique and natural setting for an informal atmosphere. They give opportunity for observation, discussion and follow-up of individuals and encourage various types of decisions on the part of campers.
