Why support Ontario Camping Ministries?
Our purpose
Each year hundreds of children and youth join our camp for a fun, week-long, life changing experience that will ensure:
- A place to Belong – all aspects of camp life will work towards a community that is respectful and caring of every person. We want all people to feel valued, included, encouraged, loved, heard, respected, accepted, and safe within the beautiful sanctuary of our campgrounds.
- A place to Grow – opportunities are woven into camp life for campers and staff to be challenged to grow in their awareness of self and others. We will provide opportunities for fun adventure, challenges, and foundational learning that will give people ways to grow into stronger individuals and leaders within our world.
- A place to experience Jesus – woven into this Christian camp is teaching from the Bible and a caring, professional staff who work to love and serve others, with the hope that all people will grow in their awareness of Jesus and experience His deep love for them.

General Operating Fund
Our goal is to deliver excellence in programming, facilities and staff while providing financially accessible camps to families in need. Donations to our Operating Fund make it possible to continue to offer camp to deserving children.
Adopt a tree
Over the last few years, The Salvation Army Jackson’s Point Camp has sadly lost many of its trees due to the ash beetle. We are looking to replenish our grounds with up to 100 new trees! If you would like to support this environmental cause as we continue to preserve our God given camp, please see below.
