Camp Conquest is a resident camp for children and adults with special needs and disabilities. We offer 2 weeks for children and 4 weeks for adult campers. Volunteer missionaries pick which camper to pair up with for the week, and we provide all the training needed before the campers arrive. Activities include horseback riding, canoeing, a 600' zipline across the lake, a petting zoo, fishing, nightly parties, and much more.
Camp Conquest is a culture where every individual with a disability has purpose, value, and a place in the Kingdom of God. We offer camps serving children & adults, ages 8 – 65, with special needs, chronic illnesses, and disabilities. Campers come from all over North America since we don’t age campers out, and we accept campers with all disabilities.
The primary objectives of Camp Conquest are to build friendships, increase confidence and self-esteem, improve social skills, foster independence, and provide an exciting and satisfying camp experience. This is achieved by providing a safe and nurturing environment, a mature, professional staff, the best in industry standard camper-to-counselor ratio (1:1), and a program designed to ensure success.
Our amazing volunteers, ages 13 - 65, come from all over the US. Missionaries will be paired one on one with the camper of their choice. During camp, Missionaries are not only a friend but they help make camp possible for our campers. This role includes keeping campers safe and encouraging them during activities, assisting in everyday routines (including hygiene), and helping make activities accessible to everyone. A Missionaries biggest responsibility is to truly love our campers selflessly and right where they are, just as the example of Christ teaches us.
As the youngest members of the Camp Conquest Missionary Team, Jr. Missionaries will help ensure camp runs smoothly for the campers. Jr. Missionaries will be helping in the dish room and kitchen. When not on duty in the kitchen they will be assigned to a cabin and serve as an extra set of hands. This is a great opportunity to learn the skills they will need for future summers.
Camp personnel are available to meet volunteer missionaries arriving at Memphis International Airport and to ensure they get to their flights home at the end of camp. There is no extra charge for this service.
