ABOUT IGNITE

Our Mission

Ignite Camp is dedicated to reach middle school students with the Gospel through biblical relationships and biblical fun. 

 

We understand that middle school is one of the most critical times for students to establish their own faith. That's why we create an environment that allows your student the space to discover their true identity in Christ and build a faith that lasts.

F.I.R.E Values

Every part of the Ignite Camp experience—from high ropes to cabin time—is guided by our F.I.R.E. Values. These aren't just words; they are the actions that define our community and ensure the best experience for every camper and leader.​

FAITH

We prioritize the gospel focus in every session, teaching students how to make Christ the center of their lives and move toward a personal, active faith.

Inclusion

We ensure every student feels seen, welcome, and valued. We actively work to create an environment where genuine community is built.

RESPECT

We treat every person, leader, and facility with dignity. This means demonstrating personal responsibility and creating a safe space for open discussion and growth.

ENCOURAGEMENT

We lift each other up. Leaders are committed to empowering students to step out of their comfort zones, and students are challenged to become bold encouragers of their peers.

Ignite Camp Leadership

Ignite Camp is a ministry supported by the Charis Fellowship of churches across Ohio and is overseen by the Ignite Leadership Counsel—a dedicated team of experienced youth ministry leaders and volunteers.


We operate as a partner to our attending churches. We handle the large-scale logistics and programming so that your youth leaders can focus entirely on discipleship and relational ministry with your students all week long.
