The messages and programs are designed to challenge students with a biblical worldview so they will deepen and/or begin their relationship with Christ.

• Can adult volunteers and chaperones attend with the students? You bet! AreaOne camps are designed to strengthen the relationships between the youth workers and students. There are no "counselors" as in a traditional camp. The AreaOne staff is focused on creating the best, most spiritually effective camp so you can focus on your students.

• I would like my kids to attend but they wouldn't be with a youth group. Can they come? Sure... Our Missouri camp isn't staffed with counselors. However, what we have done for several years is to pair individual students with attending youth groups that we have built relationships with. In this way they get to participate in everything as well as the youth group experience.

• Our group of students are from a ministry, not a church. Can we attend AreaOne? Yes, we would love to serve your ministry and students.

• What denomination are you and are you backed a church? AreaOne is an evangelical interdenominational ministry in that we work with many denominations. We are not supported by any one church. We are supported by individuals who are invested in seeing Bible believing, Christ centered ministries thrive. What we're best at is creating catalyst events that support your ministry by focusing on the fundamental foundation of our faith. We make room for the distinctiveness of denominations and avoid ordinances of the church.

• What's your theology specifically on baptism? This is a great question and we love it when people ask because we are passionate about scripture, biblical worldview training and seeing teenagers meet Christ for the first time. We do not baptize or take communion at AreaOne because we are not a church and we view these as ordinances of the local church. If your church wants to do this we will help make it happen as we do every year for individual churches.

What is your evangelism philosophy? Do you do long, emotional alter calls?
No... We do present the Gospel of Jesus Christ very clearly and we do create opportunities for students to respond in different ways. However, the long, never ending alter call isn't our style. Our philosophy is to present the truth as powerfully and effectivelly as we can and expect the students to make up their own minds as to wether they will follow Christ.  Our priority is to provide opportunites for the church youth staff to minister to their students because this is more important than anything we could program. 

What are the youth pastor and church volunteers role at AreaOne camps?
At AreaOne, we view our role as secondary to yours. Our heart is to deal with the details of creating an environment where you can solely focus on ministering to your students. When all the details of event planning and execution are taken off your plate it frees you and your team up to focus on your students. If you are short on adults and need help ministering to your students we will be there to back you up in any way you desire.

What if I have some additional students that want to come to camp and it's the day camp is supposed to start?
No problem... assuming we have bed space available we will be happy to try to work it out so that they can participate. While we have to have deadlines, our experience is that the students that most need to be at camp are the ones that sign up at the last minute. We will do everything in our power to help you get as many students to camp provided it is possible.
