Rooted: Young Men’s Spiritual Leadership Camp

- The purpose of this camp is to develop leaders such as future preachers, elders, deacons, youth ministers, teachers, song leaders, evangelists, and other congregational leaders.

Camp Visits
- We understand that you may wish to visit or call your camper during the week. Please keep in mind that visiting can often cause younger campers, who are having a great time, to become homesick. Since there is not a convenient time, and it can take away from the focus, we do not allow visits or calls during the week.
- If your camper needs you, we will let them call. We do not let kids call home to “check-in” every day.
- Please feel free to send camper mail to encourage your camper. Keep in mind that it may take a few days to arrive. Mail to 53 Iroquois Lane Conway, AR 72032.
