Statement regarding COVID-19:

  The world is experiencing something that has not happened in Mahoning Valley’s 77 years of ministry. The whole world is combating a coronavirus outbreak, and the extent of the impact is still largely unknown. We are closely monitoring the situation with guidance from both local and federal agencies. We are primarily concerned for the health and safety of our campers, guests, volunteers, staff, and families.

  In accordance with the recommendation of our county health department, at this time we are ceasing all group operations through May 1. Contingent on future guidelines from our local health officials and the CDC, we are still planning to host our 2020 summer camp programs. Our staff is still busy with preparations (while appropriately distancing). Our camp deans are still writing lessons and continuing their volunteer recruitment. We continue to pray for our campers, volunteers, donors, and staff, and we ask that you join us in that.

  Our daily cleaning and sanitizing procedures are being reviewed, including taking a fresh look at each of our various cleaning chemicals. Our camper health screening at check-in may be revised. If any camp session is cancelled, refunds will be available.

  We know that this is a difficult time for everyone, but we also know that God is in control. With the impact of Covid-19, we need your help with funding more than ever. You can give online though the "Give" tab at the top of each page, or you can continue to send checks as you have in the past.

 We know that young people need the life-shaping experience of Christian camp. We are praying for peace and health, and we look forward with hope to seeing you this summer.
