OF THE OREGON-IDAHO CONFERENCE
OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

Camp and Retreat Ministries' Mission and Vision Statements
We are people dedicated to creating sacred spaces of Christian hospitality and learning.
We offer these spaces so that people may…
Experience God’s love
Engage with creation
Develop loving interdependence with each other and the Earth
Act with justice* in the world
Vision: A world of wonder, love, and justice
We serve individuals, families, educational institutions, religiously affiliated groups, social service
agencies, community service organizations, and other nonprofit organizations that enrich life in the world.
*Dr. Cornell West says, “justice is what love looks like in public.”
Our Statement of Inclusion
The Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries of the Oregon-Idaho Conference of the United Methodist Church
considers all people to be children of God and is committed to providing an environment that is free from
discrimination and harassment based on race, age, creed, color, religion, national origin or ancestry,
disability, sexual orientation, genetics, gender identity or expression. The Board is fully devoted to
inclusiveness in order to provide quality environments of Christian hospitality and learning to campers,
guests and staff while complying with all Federal, Oregon, and Idaho state laws.
The Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist
Church adopted this statement of inclusion in March of 2019. This statement made clear the way that we
have been operating for years at our sites, and it was in response to General Conference 2019.
What Do We Offer?
We offer:
Quality Christian education and spiritual growth for children, youth, and adults
Extensive training to all our counselors and deans as mandated by our camp policies.
A nationally recognized Christian camp curriculum that is used at most of our summer camps.
Appropriate and meaningful activities, studies, and discussions.
Crafts, hikes, water sports, Bible study-all camp activities are designed for the needs of the camp's age
group.
Healthy and delicious meals prepared by professional food service staff that can accommodate special
dietary needs (with advance notice).
Safe and healthy experiences.
Red Cross-trained or professional health care providers for all Camp and Retreat Ministries summer
programs.
Facilities and programs that conform to nationally recognized risk management standards.
Many programs and facilities that are accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), whose
health and safety requirements are considered nationwide to be the industry standard for excellence.

with the physical upkeep needs of each site.

2. Initiate the process for a confidential criminal background check;
3. Attend training and planning sessions offered at the site and with the leader of your event;
4. Complete a health form; and
5. Commit to be present to the ministry of the site. Whether you are working with a small group children or youth,
leading an adult retreat, or helping with the physical upkeep of a site, your committed participation is valued.
Many individuals have found their relationship with God in community by being a camper, and many more have
further found their life's vocation by working at camp.
