Camp South Africa Mission

	What is Camp South Africa? Each winter, Alliance Redwoods runs a Christian camping program outside of Cape Town, South Africa for thousands of poor children and children affected by HIV/AIDS. Since 2002, we have served thousands of children: offering them Hope in Christ, serving them with meals, recreation, music, dance, crafts, etc. What Is Our Mission? It is to be a place of healing and hope for the poverty-stricken and children affected by HIV/AIDS in South Africa. What Is Our Purpose? It is to establish a temporary community that provides: Hope to the children of the "Lost Generation" by showing them the love of Jesus Christ through camping ministries. Meals for the poorest of the poor. Unity by bringing together young people of all South African ethnic, cultural and language backgrounds. Partnerships by collaborating with other Christian camps, churches and organizations in South Africa, with the goal of offering relevant training and cultural exchange programs.
	What Are Our Goals? Over the past eight years CSA has grown from serving 200 to over 2,500 campers annually. 2010 - Our goal is to raise $75,000 to minister to over 3000 campers including a new partnership with churches in the province of Kwazulu-Natal. What Is Our Vision? To partner with existing camps, churches and organizations throughout South Africa enabling us to impact an ever expanding number of underprivileged township children through the transforming power of Jesus Christ. To inspire a new generation of South African Christians with the powerful impact camping can have within their culture. Equip emerging South African camp leaders with the tools and training essential to camping ministry success.
