The mission of the Campfire Collective is to equip leaders for vibrant and sustainable ministries. Camp and conference ministry is an essential part of faith formation for all people. As the Campfire Collective, we believe bringing leaders together is integral to providing professional and spiritual support to sustain transformational camp and conference ministries. The association offers resources, educational events, special discounts, and a network of collegial support.  The Campfire Collective is a caring and supportive community of outdoor ministry leaders, driven to communicate the value of camp and conference ministry by sharing the stories of the lives it transforms.

The Campfire Collective is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church Camp and Conference Association and the Outdoor Ministries Institute (serving the camps of the United Church of Canada), but the organization includes camps, retreat centers, and conference centers from many denominations. We currently serve camps and conference centers from
