Not just a Camp, a Sanctuary

Project Sanctuary believes when one person serves the whole family serves. We take a human-centered, solution-based approach to helping military families heal and move forward in life. Through innovative long-term programming focused on connectedness, we restore hope and empower families to recover and thrive.

Warm Beach Camp helps us create an environment conducive to healing. With beautiful surroundings and loving staff, the families on our retreats can relax and let down all the walls they have built up.

The scenery and beauty of the property is a huge blessing to our group. Some of our families don’t live in the region and have never experienced the Pacific Northwest. Even the families that do live in the state might not get to enjoy the kind of view and proximity to Puget Sound that Warm Beach Camp offers.

We were supposed to come in 2020 for the first time, but Covid forced us to delay. So, this year was our first time at Warm Beach Camp, but we have already signed our contracts for 2022 and added an extra week. We love it there!

The military families we serve as well as our staff and volunteers leave Warm Beach feeling refreshed and take with them many great memories.

With such a simple yet profound spiritual truth, let's visit some of this summer’s happenings. Encountering God in a Personal Way Camp often serves as ...

Provision for the Humble

“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.” Matthew 5:5 NLT What comes to the humble is incredible. Reflection I have come to love the word humble. I love it for what it doesn’t mean: Proud, self-seeking, scheming, pushy, demanding, looking out for #1, status focused, and the insistence of being the brightest and best in the room. Honestly, it is exhausting to live and work with people where humility is not present. By contrast, ...
