Our Mission: We partner with local churches to rethink camp as a childcare option of irresistible value.
Our Vision: To give every child a hero who is following Jesus, our true hero.
Our Values: We will be rooted in Jesus, create EPIC moments, aspire for greatness, and leave a legacy.
We believe that every child needs a HERO and our summer staff at Skylark get to be that hero that points them to the TRUE HERO, JESUS. Working at Skylark means being a fun, exciting example of God's love to each and every camper kid whothat walks into camp. We do not want to be just another summer camp, but rather we want to be a doorway where families can feel welcomed into the local church that is connected with each of our sites.
