Mission
“To serve communities & further Christ’s Church by developing the whole person through set-apart, transformational experiences.”
At Camp Pagweak, we believe that the greatest way we respond to the unique, expansive, and ever-changing needs of the world is by developing purpose-driven leaders and disciples. We are convinced that development of this nature is all-encompassing—spiritual, social, emotional, physical, & psychological—and is best realized within a personal relationship with God. Through intentional community, active rhythms, and a set-apart context, we create a safe space for this exploration and discovery to unfold. We are confident that these immersive experiences, nestled within creation, help our participants to come as one person yet leave as another.
Vision
We are delighted to have provided meaningful and memorable camping experiences over the past 80 years. As we reflect on our history, we also want to continue to look ahead as we commit to refining our programs to better meet our mission and serve those within our region.
Our Vision: To become a camp that consistently provides high-quality, intentional, and cohesive programming where adventure and formation are fully integrated with one another.
Authentic Community
Values
(Belonging)
The sense of belonging is a need fundamental to how we have been created and must be fulfilled before we can embark on a journey of learning and growth. We aim to foster a community that reflects God’s Kingdom by being welcoming, genuine, safe, fun, supportive, and gracious.
Servant Leadership
(Shaping)
We believe that love, demonstrated through service, transforms and shapes people in life-changing ways. We strive to develop effective leaders by cultivating opportunities, rhythms, and a culture in which sacrificial love is received, extended, taught, and practiced in response to the love demonstrated through Christ.
Cultivated Wonder
(Exploring)
We believe that people are designed with the ability and desire to learn. We aim to facilitate an environment where everyone, no matter their stage or season of life, can embrace curiosity by engaging with novel experiences, challenge, creation, and reflection so that they may continue to grow in their unique knowledge, passions & gifts.
Collaborative Innovation
(Partnering)
· While we affirm that the truth of the Gospel remains unchanged, we also recognize that we exist in a changing world with changing needs. We are committed to continuous learning and growth in order to become more effective in sharing the Gospel, and we believe this best done within partnership.
