About Breakaway Camps

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE!

Safe Environments. Christian Principles. Community Spirit.

Every child deserves a place where they feel welcomed, valued, encouraged, and free to be themselves.

At Breakaway Camps, we create fun-filled, faith-based experiences where kids build friendships, discover new strengths, grow in confidence, and make memories that last a lifetime.

From exciting summer camps and sports programs to winter retreats and special adventures, our programs bring young people together through shared experiences that inspire personal growth, meaningful relationships, and a sense of belonging.

Breakaway is more than a place for kids to have fun. It’s an opportunity for children to grow in a positive, supportive environment where character matters, relationships are nurtured, and Christian values help shape everything we do.

Serving Kids and Families Since 1995

Breakaway is part of a nonprofit outreach ministry that has been serving children, youth, families, and communities since 1995.

For more than three decades, our mission has been to create opportunities for young people to thrive—especially through experiences that strengthen relationships, build resilience, develop life skills, and encourage spiritual growth.

Our programs include camps and retreats, sports and recreation, adventure experiences, and community service projects.

Whether it’s a child’s first camp experience or a familiar adventure they look forward to every year, we want every participant to leave with more than great memories. We want them to leave encouraged, connected, and better equipped for life’s journey.

More Than Just Fun

We believe the best camp experiences don’t just entertain kids. They help shape who they’re becoming.

Through intentional activities, positive relationships, and faith-centered experiences, Breakaway programs seek to:

  • Build Confidence & Resilience – Help children discover their strengths, overcome challenges, and develop a positive sense of self.
  • Create Meaningful Friendships – Foster belonging, teamwork, social skills, and healthy relationships with peers and caring adults.
  • Develop Character & Life Skills – Encourage responsibility, respect, cooperation, problem-solving, and constructive conflict resolution.
  • Nurture Faith & Spiritual Growth – Introduce young people to biblical truths and Christian values through engaging, age-appropriate experiences.
  • Encourage Creativity & Discovery – Provide opportunities for imaginative expression, exploration, and discovering new interests.
  • Celebrate Community & Belonging – Create welcoming environments where children from different backgrounds can connect, learn from one another, and experience the value of unity.

Our goal is simple: Empowered kids. Stronger families. More resilient communities.

Your Child’s Well-Being Matters

We understand that choosing a camp is an important decision for parents.

That’s why we are committed to creating environments where children are treated with dignity, respect, and care.

Our approach emphasizes positive adult mentorship, age-appropriate activities, supportive relationships, and clear expectations for safety and conduct.

We believe children flourish when they feel safe enough to try something new, supported enough to navigate challenges, and valued enough to know they belong.

Every Child Has a Story. Every Experience Matters.

Some kids come to camp ready for adventure. Others arrive feeling uncertain, shy, or unsure where they fit in.

Our desire is to meet children where they are, help them feel connected, and create opportunities for them to grow through encouragement, friendship, faith, and shared experiences.

Because sometimes the smallest moments—a new friendship, an encouraging word, a team activity, or discovering a hidden strength—can make a lasting difference in a child’s life.

At Breakaway Camps, we’re not just creating great camp experiences. We’re investing in the lives of young people.

Let’s Make Some Memories!
