Mission Statement

Core Value:

Is the individual’s Biblical response and responsibility to God and others.

Vision:

Our vision is the development of godly character resulting in participants and staff who become leaders for serving churches and reaching communities.

Mission:

The mission of Camp Bighorn is to steward environments that are conducive to the work of the Holy Spirit, proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and developing Kingdom leaders.

Strategy:

In accomplishing the purpose, mission and vision, it is the philosophy of Camp Bighorn to emphasize relationships. Knowing that the Gospel of Jesus Christ speaks to people and not to facilities or programs, three main strengths within the camping program will be used Discipleship, Small Groups,and Changed Environments. The programs will be designed and staffed in such a way as to emphasize:

• Grace over Law
• Discretion over Rules
• Education over Entertainment
• Involvement over Observation
• Practical over Theoretical
• Process over Product
• Hospitality over Efficiency
• Challenge over Complacency
• Excellence over Adequate

The strategy is summed in the Scripture verse of 1 Peter 3:15, “…but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence…” It is our understanding that environments with unknown outcomes surface questions in which to share hope. Bighorn will steward environments where questions surface and hope is shared.
