Mission: Camping with Christ… for lives of faith. Our Four Promises — CHRIST: We create holy space centered on Christ. GRACE: You're safe to be yourself, experience your faith out loud, and grow as a person. FAMILY: From first-time campers, to retreaters, to long-time donors — everyone is part of the CCM Family. GOD'S CALL: We help people hear God's call in their lives — for "lives of faith." Bring your energized faith back into your everyday life.

CCM as a place of community and belonging
We are a place of community where people can see and experience God's love through the people surrounding them. We are a place of Christ-centered hospitality where all people are welcomed and served in Jesus' name.
Get outside and enjoy our 150-acre site! Lake Sakakawea is world-famous for great fishing, especially for Walleye. The North Country Hiking Trail begins in our own backyard at Lake Sakakawea State Park.
Traditional Week is our classic camp that campers have been enjoying for the past 70 years. Every day, campers participate in camp staples such as Life Story (bible study), campfire worship, camp games, sundries (afternoon activities such as archery, crafts, nature hikes, and more), waterfront, and cabin time (time to bond with cabin mates)! Campers can expect excellent food, genuine connections, and growth in their faith lives; a real chance to Camp with Christ for lives of faith!
Staff testimonial — faith, leadership, and being part of a bigger picture
Being on this staff means being a part of a bigger picture — you're a leader, a teacher, a friend, a confidant, and a part of a family. I think faith and religion is something that should be shared openly and confidently, but also needs to be nurtured with care and in peace. I believe that Camp of the Cross is the perfect place to do that — not only for myself, but for other staff members, and especially the campers. — Abbigail, Current Staff Member

Communicating with campers — BunkNote mail service
If you would like to send notes or messages to your camper throughout the week, keep an eye on your mail a couple of weeks prior to your chosen camp for information about the BunkNote service. Any emails and letters you send to your camper will be delivered at the lunch meal time by our program staff.
