AreaOne is what you get when you combine the best parts of a Christian conference with the best aspects of a summer camp. Most like the exciting qualities of a big weekend conference but usually wish it was a bit longer... at 5 days and 4 nights, summer camps are great tools for introducing Christ to teens but the label "camp" can mean numerous things. Many remember rustic camp experiences from their childhood that they wouldn't want to repeat. This can also be a barrier to recruiting adults to chaperone youth trips. 

At AreaOne, students and adults enjoy world class resort facilities, big concert production values and most importantly an intentional teaching and recreation program focused on Jesus Christ. We understand it is important to keep expenses low on families so you will find our prices are some of the lowest in the nation (see chart below). Call us at 888.GOAREA1 or explore the links to our camps in Florida and Missouri to learn how we can serve your church.

1. Students leave camp with a relationship with Christ if they didn't already have one.
2. Students renew the relationship with you and the church leadership that will continue to minister to them after they return home.
3. Inspire students to dig deeper in the Bible and apply what they learn in everything that they do... in essence live out a biblical worldview.
4. Train students in how to go to scripture in order to become mature believers.
5. That students put their faith into practice to reach out to those who don't know Christ and those less fortunate... Love God, love people.
