A week to be a kid, belong, and have an unforgettable time.
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 activities, building relationships with caring adults, and hearing the hope of the Gospel.
Camp should feel like camp.
For one week, campers get to step away from everyday routines and simply enjoy being kids.
Days are filled with outdoor activities, swimming, games, friendships, laughter, worship, Bible study, and plenty of opportunities to try something new.
Camp dates are set!

June 27–July 2Two goals guide everything we do.
Camp 1:27 exists to create an environment where children connected to foster care can experience joy, belonging, strong relationships, and the love of Christ.
Introduce every camper to Christ.
The Gospel is intentionally woven throughout the camp experience.
Give every camper one of the best weeks of their life.
We want campers to leave with memories, friendships, confidence, and a sense that they were deeply valued.
Belonging matters.
Children connected to foster care can carry experiences of instability, loss, and transition. At Camp 1:27, we want every camper to know that they are welcomed, valued, and worthy of care.
Counselors and staff work intentionally to build healthy relationships, provide appropriate supervision, create consistent structure, and make camp a place where children can relax and enjoy being kids.
A great week for campers can also mean a week of rest for families.
Camp 1:27 was created for children, but we know that foster, adoptive, and kinship parents pour an enormous amount of energy into caring for their families.
While campers enjoy a week at camp, caregivers have an opportunity to rest, spend time with other children, catch up on responsibilities, or simply breathe.
