An Opportunity to Serve, Encourage, and Build Relationships
Each summer, Fellowship Bible Church partners with First Nations Baptist Fellowship to host Family Camp, a week dedicated to encouraging and equipping Native American churches and their families.
Through biblical teaching, engaging activities, and meaningful fellowship, Family Camp provides opportunities to share God's Word, strengthen relationships, and encourage one another in Christ.

What Happens at Family Camp?
Throughout the week, FBC's Global Missions pastors provide biblical teaching for adult attendees while our volunteer team serves in nursery, elementary, and youth ministries through Bible lessons, crafts, games, and activities.
Afternoons are filled with opportunities to build relationships through hiking, crafts, gaga ball, human foosball, horseback riding, archery, and more!
In the evenings, we gather to learn about different cultures, enjoy fellowship, and share s'mores around the campfire.
From Bible lessons and camp activities to conversations around the campfire, each day provides opportunities to serve others and build meaningful relationships. And it takes many willing hands to make it all happen!

How Can You Serve?
There are many ways to be part of the Family Camp team! Volunteers primarily serve in the following areas:
Each volunteer will be assigned to a team, but flexibility is important! You may be asked to serve in another area as needs arise.
Serve Together as a Family
Family Camp is also an opportunity for families to experience missions together! Parents and children can participate in the week, build relationships with other families, and experience what it looks like to serve others.
While adults and eligible volunteers will be assigned to specific ministry teams, children can participate in camp activities and experience the joy of being part of a missions-focused week.
Whether you come on your own or bring your family, there's a place for you at Family Camp!
- Nursery/Preschool: Caring for the youngest campers in a safe, loving environment.
- Elementary: Teaching Bible lessons, leading crafts and games, and building relationships with children.
- Youth: Connecting with students through biblical teaching, discussions, and activities.
- Camp Activities and Support: Helping with activities and other needs throughout the week.
