Mission and Purpose

The mission of Association of Cedarbrook Camps (ACC) is to support member camps with their Cedarbrook Camp ministries in their efforts to accelerate the gospel of Jesus Christ by providing resources, training, and networking opportunities. We partner with camps to equip them with the tools needed to run effective, safe, and impactful programs.

Vision

Our vision is to partner with camps to change lives. We achieve this by offering training programs, like Director and Board Training, which help camp leaders manage their camps with excellence. Through the Cedarbrook Association Member Portal (CAMP), we provide resources such as templates and shared camp documents to support camp operations. Cedarbrook Academy offers online training to enhance leadership skills and deepen understanding of supporting and guiding campers.

Additionally, we offer practical benefits like discounted services, networking opportunities, and resources for camp operations, marketing, and fundraising. Our partnerships with organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom and CCLI, provide further resources, tools, and discounts to help camps run efficiently and affordably.

By investing in the growth of our Member Camps and fostering collaboration, we help create communities where individuals grow in faith, leadership, and character.

Founding Verse

The name “Cedarbrook” is inspired by Psalm 92:12-15:

“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, ‘The Lord is upright; He is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in Him.’”

This verse reflects our mission to help individuals grow strong in their faith, like the flourishing cedar tree, rooted in God’s presence.
