About Us

The Heart of Camp Agape

Camp Agape is made up of many hearts that struggle daily with grief.

We work with children affected by cases of suicide, murder, drunk driving, cancer, heart attacks, drug overdoses, and sadly, even more.

We work to improve children’s lives and equip their families with the tools to help the entire family through the pain, anguish, and ambiguity of the trauma that is grief due to the loss of a loved one.

Camp Agape is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization that supports children between 7 and 12 who have lost a loved one. It offers the fun and activities of a summer camp and a creative program focused on helping children work with their loss, learn from their grief, and find new hope. The four-day program is accessible to the children through private, community, and corporate sponsorships.

Mission Statement

Camp Agape is a safe place that provides a fun and supportive atmosphere while fostering faith, healing, and hope for children, teens, and families on their grief journey.

Statement of Faith

We fully believe that the Holy Bible was divinely inspired, is the only written record of God’s revelation of Himself, and is the authority for all life and practice.

We believe salvation is a gift of God through faith in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

We believe the teachings of the Bible are relevant to today’s society and traditional family values.

We are to exemplify an exemplary way of life for the children in our care; we expect our volunteers to portray a Christ-centered lifestyle during and outside camp.

We think you might like it here!
