about

West Mountain

West Mountain Camp is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Christian camp and retreat center, incorporated in Idaho and governed by a board drawn from our network churches. It is non-denominational, evangelical, and non-partisan — committed to the unity of the body of Christ across tradition.

Serve at camp

We want 100 young leaders living out their calling — not as a program, but as a culture the camp cultivates year after year.

why it matters

Our core values

01 
witness to jesus' lordship

When our churches do something together that none of us could do

alone, we demonstrate that Jesus is actually Lord — not just of individual congregations, but of the whole

body.

02 
creates space for formation

Young people need extended encounters with God in unhurried settings

— mentors who are not their parents, communities that hold them accountable, and experiences that

interrupt the noise long enough to hear something true.

03  demonstrates gospel in deed

We intend this camp to be a place of radical hospitality — a place where refugees, kids from under-resourced families, and people on the margins find a welcome that looks like the Kingdom.

04
equips church long-term

The discipleship crisis in the Western church is not a content problem.

It is a formation problem. West Mountain Camp is one part of the answer.

So how do I jump in?
