Impact! Mission Camps

IMPACT! is now the “umbrella” program name of a variety of youth mission camps offered by the Virginia Baptist Mission Board.  While each project will have its own unique flavor there are a few similarities:

• Multi-church, statewide event ranging from 100 – 300 in attendance

• Designed for teenage students who have completed one of the grades 7th – 12th.  There are possibilities for students entering the 7th grade or who are attending college to attend.

• A ‘turn-key’ event meaning that most of the infrastructure is provided for you.  Housing, meals, projects, worship, logistics, etc. are provided by our office.  You simply need to pay a modest fee and bring your group.  (I know, I know, it isn’t quite that simple – but you get the point)

• Usually 1 week in length.  Our international project will be a few days longer and we will offer a project that is only for a partial week.

• All projects will have a ‘hands-on’ component as well as corporate worship.

Description of Impact! Mission Camps

This project will be in response to natural disasters across our nation.

Impact Virginia! is our “classic” one week construction mission opportunity for teenagers.  The projects will have between 250 and 300 participants and will focus on home repair and renovation.

An urban-centered mission opportunity that will focus on community service as well as the issues and culture of those living in metropolitan areas.

Impact International! is a large group mission opportunity that works with our international partners across the globe.
