Camp WAMAVA’s primary
mission is spiritual. It exists to provide camping in a
Christian environment and to glorify God. Emphasis is also
placed on the physical and emotional growth of the young people
who attend the camp. A look at an average day's activities
serves to illustrate the balance that is sought to put the
camping experience in the proper perspective. Spiritual aspects
of Camp WAMAVA are emphasized daily through Bible classes and
devotionals. Physical and emotional growth receives proper
emphasis during periods of organized recreation and free time.
Recreational activities include large and small group games,
supervised swimming, hiking and crafts. And to complete their
physical growth needs, campers enjoy three meals during the day
and have snacks at “canteen” time.
The encampment
director and his staff are under the direction of the Camp
WAMAVA Board of Directors. All are Christians committed to
offering every child the broadest possible program instilling
spiritual, physical and emotional growth. Camp fees defray only
a part of the expense of each camper attending the summer
sessions. The remainder of the money needed to operate the camp
is provided by donations from generous Christians. These people
who love the children of the Washington metropolitan area
believe that the camp provides a valuable physical and spiritual
opportunity for these young people.
