In 2025-26 we at Association of Christian Camps are focused on:
1. Supporting the Renewal and Development of Christian Camps. humanitarian aid to those fleeing the war.
The focus of the Association of Christian Camps and Conference Centers in Ukraine has shifted from emergency humanitarian relief to rebuilding and strengthening the Christian camping movement. We are now working to equip and support camp leaders, restore camp facilities, and help camps reopen and grow in their ministry to children and youth across Ukraine and neighbouring countries.
2. Sponsoring Children and Youth to Attend Christian Camps
In summer 2025, during the war, 400 camps that are part of our network operated in Ukraine and Europe for Ukrainian children. Many of the camps that operated in summer 2025 were day camps. In these camps, more than 40 thousand children were able to find refuge, peace of mind and encounter spiritual truths.
For one child to go to camp in Ukraine, it costs an average of 25 US dollars per day. We estimate that in 2026 we will be able to steward effectively and responsibly a total of $150,000 US dollars to sponsor Ukrainian children and youth to attend Christian camps.
3. Conferences, seminars, and skill-development workshops for Christian camp staff.
Since 1996, Association of Christian Camps and Conference Centers in Ukraine has been actively supporting professional training programs for Christian camp staff. In spite of the war, since February 24, 2022, our training projects have been taking place in person. In 2025 we have trained 2,400 camp leaders in 32 training events.
