Every summer,

They’re invited by their local church and sponsored by generous members of the community. The goal is to provide connections to a team of trustworthy adults who will invest in their lives and offer hope for a better tomorrow.

A week at UGM Camp includes:

Basketball
Tennis
Hiking
Swimming
Craft projects
Archery

Focused time with counselors and other caring adults
Connections with a neighborhood church
Memories to last a lifetime

UGM Camp

In 1991, Dick Shanks, a lifelong supporter of UGM, offered his riverside land (125 acres), house, cabins, and recreational facilities to the Mission at a fraction of the value. This became UGM Camp.

The campground is located one hour outside Spokane, near Ford, WA. While UGM provides the support staff, teams of volunteers from several different neighborhood churches lead the programming and provide counselors so that ongoing relationships can be established and continued long after camp is over.
