From Vision to Reality
Camp Sozo was born from a simple dream: to see young lives transformed through a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ and the unforgettable experience of camp.
As our church family at Firm Foundation Ministries continued to grow, we recognized the need for more opportunities for the youth in our area to experience Christian camp ministry. With limited local options available, we felt God calling us to step forward and create something new.
Our founders and leadership team have each been deeply impacted by camp ministry and have witnessed firsthand the lasting difference it can make in a person’s life. Their passion, experience, and shared vision became the foundation for Camp Sozo.
Through God’s faithfulness, the support of Firm Foundation Ministries, and countless hours of prayer, planning, and dedication, what began as a dream has become a reality. We are excited to welcome campers into an environment where they can grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and experience the life-changing love of Jesus.
