The camp is not just about spreading the word; it’s about instilling values, fostering spiritual growth, and building a community of like-minded individuals. The underlying philosophy of the camp is a touching belief that "not one of these little ones should perish."The camp, run by Child Evangelism Fellowship – a Bible-centered global organization of born-again believers, takes a comprehensive approach to religious education. It goes beyond just evangelizing. The goal is to firmly root these young minds in the Word of God, helping them cultivate a lifestyle steeped in Christian values.
