   CAMP VALUE

 
 
 
  For nearly 100 years, members of the American Camp Association have joined together to share knowledge and experience and to ensure quality of camp programs.
 
  ACA's current membership of over 7,000 exceptional camp programs provides children and adults with the opportunity to learn powerful lessons in community, character-building, skill development, and healthy living - lessons that can be learned nowhere else other than at camp.

Johns River Valley Camp seeks to provide --in an outdoor setting -- opportunities for persons to experience the presence of God, to discover personal wholeness, and to participate amidst Christian community. (JRVC mission statement)
