Mission

Star Rock Ministries partners with donors and organizations to gift Christ-centered camp experiences that grow faith, relationships, character, and life skills to youth from under-resourced communities and the U.S. Military. Star Rock provides funds to these unaffiliated not-for-profit organizations across the country so that some of the youth and families they serve may attend camp experiences, whether conferences, day or residential camps.

The other two programmed experiences were for 24 boys and girls aged 5-10 from military families to join in a southern California 2-week day-camp experience with counselors, outdoor activities, faith lessons, skills training, and character building.
