Nikos Camps

Recognizing the need for a Christian based camp uniquely directed toward at-risk youth, Mission:Possible! created the Nikos camping ministry. Here, inner-city children who rarely have the opportunity to experience the beauty of God's creation in a natural setting are able to focus on His love for them. For the first time, many kids receive personal recognition for their achievements. Others grow as they realize they can have fun without hurting, stealing, or taking advantage of others. These relationships pave the way for a new social awareness of others as the camper goes back to his or her neighborhood in the city.   For children and teens alike, this could be the only time they are loved and are rewarded for returning that love in tangible ways.   Often, their time at camp leads to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that will last a lifetime.

Mission:Possible! Austin currently hosts 4 theme-based camps throughout the year.  We have developed 5 Biblical themes that circulate over 5 years.  Starting in the spring of every year we have a 3 day camp here in Austin at Pole-Cat Hollow.  Our next camp is in the first week of June in Rosebud, Texas.  This is a week long camp and the major theme thrust of the year.  Then we have the “Road Trip” (HEB Camp) for youth ages 13-18 in the middle of the summer.  Finally, we have a wrap-up camp in the fall to close the yearly theme. 

We have been operating the Nikos camps for over 13 years now and have seen many lives changed.
