Learn More About Camp Rock of Georgia:

The mission of Camp Rock is to influence the life circumstances of at-risk children so that they develop the life skills needed to fulfill the full potential of the life God has given them.  To accomplish this mission, Camp Rock serves at-risk children through three initiatives:

Camp Rock Summer Camp – A week-long residential camp gives low income and foster children the opportunity to spend a week enjoying outdoor activities while participating in Bible study, arts and crafts, singing, and more. The Summer camp has provided a week of adventure for over 500 at-risk children since 2011.

Christmas Time at Camp Rock –  Christmas Time at Camp Rock is one-day event during which foster children and their foster families are treated to a day of fun, food, and fellowship. Christmas Time at Camp Rock also provides the children with Christmas gifts their foster families may not be able to afford. In 2016, 800 children and their foster families (about 3,000 people) attended the event.

Wilderness Camp – An eight-month program for at-risk children, Camp Wilderness is held one weekend out of each month. Our wilderness campus includes outdoor activities like horseback riding and gardening. Children are also taught life skills such as first aid and personal finances.
