The nature of a camper's Christian faith and the informality of the camping lifestyle makes personal ministry a natural. These rallies offer opportunity for fellowship and planning. Various mission projects are also presented and discussed. Typical service projects that occur throughout the year include helping with Backyard Bible Clubs, Vacation Bible School, campground ministries, booths at fairs with tracts, cold water and information, and providing labor for construction projects. As larger projects are undertaken, other COM members or state chapters may work together to complete the tasks.
Campers are in a unique position to help meet mission needs.
In Tennessee and throughout the United States, regardless of your talents or experience, there is a role for everyone. The Campers on Mission emblem has been designed to be a conversation piece, although campers do not often run out of things to talk about, the explanation of the design may contribute to meaningful dialogue. The circle, which has neither beginning nor end, is symbolic of God's eternal existence and His bountiful love for all people. The compass star is symbolic of the expanse of God's creation. It reminds campers that whether they are north, east, south or west, God is always there to speak to them as they seek Him in recreation.
