Safe Spaces to Explore One’s Faith

Finding encouragement and community while experiencing hope, rest, faith, and surrender. Those coming to Warm Beach Camp Ministries are having transformational experiences each and every day. Here are just a few:

• A group of underserved youth from Tacoma stayed at Rainier Camp & Retreat Center through the non-profit Peak 7 Adventures. Venturing out into the vast wilderness for the first time, these youth had space to just be kids, connect with one another, and discover a newfound love for creation. “They are the highest risk group we work with, and they had an absolute blast! It was really awesome to build strong connections with these young teens and their leaders.” said Taylor King, Peak 7 Adventures Program Director.

• A Family Camp that has stayed and been hosted at Warm Beach Camp since the early 1970s. This group has a shared vision for the Kingdom of God growing through Christian camping and a commitment to keeping the path clear to the cross of Jesus Christ, a partnership that spans the test of time. New generations arrive at Warm Beach experiencing the love of Christ, and a fun-filled experience at Camp becomes so much more.

• Jacob, a five-year-old boy, spread kindness to every person he encountered while attending Black Diamond Camp’s Day Camp. Jacob boldly went around and said “Hi!” to every staff member and camper with a big smile on his face. He was eager to try new activities and invoked a childlike faith in all. He exhibited compassion and awareness that far surpassed his physical years. Everyone at Day Camp was greatly affected by Jacob and was grateful to see God’s joy resonate through him. In return, Black Diamond Staff blessed the family with a safe place where Jacob could be himself, allowing him to share the love he has for life and everyone he came across.

• An insecure teen girl questioning where she belonged was warmly welcomed and encouraged by the Warm Beach Horsemanship staff. Their interactions helped foster respect and compassion within herself. This young lady blossomed in the Christ-centered environment of the Barn.  She looked forward to the responsibility of caring for and effectively communicating with the horse in her care. Through horse lessons, she was also equipped with invaluable life skills that will serve her well in the future.

By providing safe spaces to explore one’s faith, Christ is taking root in the lives of our guests. Warm Beach Camp Ministries is on course to serve 118,000 people throughout 2025.
