About Miracle Camp and Retreat Center

Miracle Camp’s mission is to partner with the local church by providing a retreat environment that is a catalyst for faith in Jesus as Lord. This basically means that we desire to tell people about Jesus, build up believers, and provide a place where people can rest and draw close to God and to others. We don’t exist to replace the church, but rather come alongside churches and equip them to serve those in their communities. We want to be a place where memories are made, where friendships are formed, and where lives are changed by the power of the gospel.
