Our Mission at NeKaMo Camp
NeKaMo Camp exists to faithfully present the gospel of Jesus Christ and to provide unique opportunities for spiritual and personal growth for campers and staff. Our goal is to equip everyone who comes to NeKaMo to serve Christ and glorify His name in all they do.
Faith-Based Environment
Founded in 1965, NeKaMo Camp has a rich history rooted in Christian values. Our mission is to foster a deep and personal relationship with God through daily worship, Bible studies, and devotional times. We believe in creating a nurturing environment where campers can grow in their faith and apply Biblical principles to their daily lives.
Spiritual Formation
Spiritual growth is at the heart of our camp experience. Campers participate in personal and group worship, prayer, and reflection, encouraging them to deepen their relationship with God. Each summer, our camp focuses on a spiritual theme, with 2024’s theme being “Anchored in Truth,” based on John 17:17, “Sanctify them by the truth; your Word is truth.”
Building Community
At NeKaMo Camp, we emphasize the importance of building strong, positive relationships within a Christian community. Our campers experience a supportive and loving environment where they can form lifelong friendships. Through shared experiences and community activities, we teach the values of teamwork, respect, and mutual encouragement.
Skill Development
NeKaMo Camp offers a variety of skill-building activities that allow campers to discover and celebrate their God-given talents and abilities. From outdoor skills like canoeing and archery to creative arts such as drama and crafts, our programs are designed to boost self-confidence and perseverance. Each camper has the opportunity to choose activities that interest them, fostering both personal growth and enjoyment.
Appreciation of Creation
Situated in the beautiful Ozarks near Warsaw, Missouri, NeKaMo Camp provides an ideal setting for campers to appreciate God’s creation. We encourage a deep respect for nature through various outdoor activities and environmental education. Our campers learn to enjoy and care for the outdoors, understanding the importance of stewardship of the environment.
Safety and Care
The safety and well-being of our campers are our top priorities. We have a comprehensive risk management program, including staff training and strict safety protocols for all activities. A registered nurse is always on-site, and additional medical assistance is available nearby, ensuring a secure environment for all campers.
