Every child deserves a place to belong.
Camp 1:27 is a free Christ-centered summer camp for children and teenagers connected to foster care. Campers spend the week making friends, trying new things, building relationships with caring adults, and hearing the hope of the Gospel.
More than a week away from home.
Camp 1:27 gives children connected to foster care a place where they can simply enjoy being kids.
For one week, campers step into a community filled with adventure, laughter, encouragement, meaningful relationships, and consistent reminders that they are known, valued, and loved.
Four weeks of Camp 1:27 are coming this summer.
Each camp week is designed around the age and stage of our campers while providing the same Christ-centered experience of belonging, friendship, adventure, and fun.

Counselors and summer staff prepare together for the season through training, team building, camp preparation, and spiritual formation.
