Camp Life

We are excited to reopen our camps this summer, starting in July!

Although regulations are constantly changing, we are trusting in God’s plan and provision for our 2021 camps and are currently planning for camps at half capacity (12 campers each). At this time, we are refining our camp procedures to ensure the safety of all campers and our committed volunteers.

Camps will be held:

• July 3-9, 2021: Girls Camp with Brenda Walker
• July 10-16, 2021: Boys Camp with Rob Walker
• July 17-23, 2021: Boys Camp with Brandon Reeves
• July 24-30, 2021: Boys Camp with Trevor Hamlin
• July 31-August 6, 2021: Girls Camp with Janet Jett

Teenagers are very special people. Unfortunately, many live in an environment of poverty, broken homes, negative peer pressure, drug and alcohol abuse, physical and mental abuse, gang influences and declining moral values.

With the ever-increasing violence, financial struggles, stresses, and fatherless homes in our communities have had their negative influence in shaping the lives of such youth.

We here at Morning Star, strive to restore character, hope and a future into this young generation. Through a variety of free programs, these teens are given help and shown that there is a way out of their circumstances.

At MSO camps, teens can get away from that environment. In a peaceful, natural setting near Bear Valley, California, teens have time and space to reflect on their lives, find out what kind of person they are or would like to become, and to think about the direction of the paths they are taking.

Through MSO, teens come to realize that they are special people and, with proper guidance, that they can have happy and fulfilling lives. They leave camp with a new start and hopes and dreams for a brighter and more promising future.

Our main focus at Morning Star is to provide a free summer camp experience for those that can’t afford it.  We understand that it’s not always easy to find the funds to send a teen off for a week and because of that it is our heart to do all that we can to make that difference.  

Through the generous donations and fundraisers of our partners we are able to provide a full-fledged camping experience.  We own and operate a campground facility in California off of Highway 4 near Bear Valley.  The site is equipped with cabins, large kitchen, bathrooms with showers, campfire pit and centered around hiking trails.

Transportation to and from the campsite is provided after meeting at a central departure location for each event.  The campers will return to that same location.

After returning from the mountain the kids come back with a new perspective on life resulting from their many experiences, challenges, and accomplishments.

Our goal is to return your teen with a change of attitude, a respect for others, and a renewed hope for their future and place in this world.  This is an opportunity for what we hope to be one of the greatest weeks of their life.
