One week could impact your students for the rest of their lives.
Students shouldn’t just hear about mission work. They deserve to actually participate in it during their most formative years.
That’s why we developed Crossings on Mission. Your students have the opportunity to do hands-on work in the community and share the gospel through service—all while enjoying the fun and bonding of a typical camp experience.
They will return home with an expanded vision of what it means to live on mission in their everyday life and feel equipped to be a leader in their community.
Enjoy a done-for-you youth camp + mission trip experience you can trust.

“Everything is done with excellence - from activities to worship, the camp staff works as hard as anyone I’ve seen to serve churches well. At Crossings you can count on a safe environment where students and adults are challenged to come to know Christ and more fully experience him”

Group Leader
Leave the planning to us.
We plan everything and hire the same beloved staff from our on-property camps—so you can worry less about logistics and focus more on investing in your students and helping them take steps of faith as you serve together.
Live out the gospel.
At Crossings, everything we do is gospel-focused. From morning Bible study to service projects, your students will not only hear the gospel clearly presented but live it out.
Serve as a community.
Service uniquely bonds teams and gives you space to go deeper with your students than you would at a traditional summer camp, so you can go back home united as one community in Christ.
Raise up leaders.
Mission work gives your students the opportunity to live out their faith in new ways, catch a bigger vision for their lives, and embrace their leadership skills.

“Camp is easily the biggest highlight of the year for our students… and Crossings does such a great job at making it a fun, safe, and inviting environment. The lessons they learn about the Gospel spark so many needed questions, considerations, and new interest in Jesus that are invaluable for us in our ministry!
