The mission of Camp 5 is to provide a free, safe and fun, faith-based summer camp for children in grades 2nd-8th living in poverty in Southern Illinois.  Camp 5 will focus solely on children who are at-risk and give them five fun-filled days of Hope, Love, Patience, Joy and Peace.

Camp 5 was founded by a group of individuals seeking to serve underprivileged children in the southern Illinois area. Our team is  passionate about sharing the love of Christ with the campers.
