God is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe. He has eternally existed in three essences: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our mediator and advocate.

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.

The Bible, which contains the Old and New Testaments, is the infallible, inspired word of God. Written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, it is the ultimate source of doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof. Humanity: Humanity is made in the image of God. Because we are made in His image, we are unique among creation and have special worth derived from our maker. Made in God's image, He defines our identity and we belong to Him. Our purpose cannot be separated from Him.

Jesus is the only way to God. There is no other way of salvation. By trusting in Jesus, we are saved from the curse and penalty of sin and can enjoy an abundant, eternal life that begins when we believe.

We believe that God creates human beings in His own image as two distinct sexes (or genders), male and female, as determined by their biological sex at birth. We believe that sex and gender are synonymous in God's creation. Holding the Scriptures as our final authority, we believe in a biblical view of sexual purity prior to marriage, faithfulness within the context of marriage, and that marriage is defined as a union between one man and one woman.

Our heart is to love all and point ALL to our true forgiveness and hope in Jesus Christ. We sincerely want everyone to come to camp. We also believe our staff contributes to our Christian community and the accomplishment of our mission through our deeply held beliefs, so they need to be aware of what we believe to be God's teaching on sexual identity, which influences our staffing policies. Because of our desire for ALL to have an amazing experience while at camp, we are unable (and not equipped) to hire staff that: • desire to be called by pronouns different from their sex/gender • proclaim their identity as a non-human species • are transitioning to a different gender from the one given at birth • proclaim their identity to be LGBTQ+ (We realize that identity and attraction can be complicated.) Because we also desire for ALL to hear God's truth, we stand firm on these beliefs and are grateful for our many youth ministries and pastors for the trust they give us in caring for their campers.
