Purpose
Camp Charis is a Bible-centered, non-denominational mission to children and teens. The purpose of Camp Charis is to provide camping experiences for children, teens and adults where the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is taught, demonstrated and encouraged in daily living. The emphasis is a personal relationship with Christ, Christian living and Christian service.
Charis is the Greek word for grace or “the divine influence on the heart, and its reflection in the life.” Since its beginning in 1992, the camp has served over 2000 campers and volunteers. Started in Tallahassee, Florida by the ministry of Big Bend Child Evangelism Fellowship, it was known as Camp Good News from 1992-2002. The name was changed to Camp Charis upon becoming an independent ministry in 2002. Camp Charis is a 510(c)3 non-profit organization supported primarily by tax-deductible gifts from churches, businesses and individuals.
