Camps
Alaska Camps has always been an active part of ministry throughout Alaska with resident camps in Southcentral, Southeast and Arctic Alaska. Camp Polaris, located in Dillingham Alaska, has been in operation since the early 1950's and has positively impacted the lives of countless Alaskan children through the years. AMA has long realized the potential of offering camp opportunities to Native communities and in 2018 created the AMA Day Camp program.
Utilizing staff that traditionally serves the Alaska Camps residential program, AMA holds week-long day camps in community hubs such as Bethel and Nome. God has blessed these efforts with over 300 additional children served. In 2018 alone, 85 campers dedicated their lives to Christ.
The possibility of day camps is endless! Along with traditional resident camps, AMA has received requests for music camps. Through the Alaska Mission Experience, AMA is looking to build a program that brings music and instruments to village children; when the camp ends, the instruments remain along with resources to further learning. If your organization is looking for a short-term outreach opportunity, AMA encourages you to explore the possibility of organizing and hosting a day camp in rural Alaska. The rewards are great and the memories unforgettable!
