Children's Bible Fellowship of New York

Camp Joy: Camp Joy runs as a year-round discipleship retreat center. The camp caters to youth coming from under resourced communities of New York City. Camp Joy is a safe place for youth to experience the beauty God created. They are brought to the campus in Carmel, NY for single and multi-day retreats where they are involved in a variety of activities. During these retreats, relationships are built, small group activities, worship, and prayer. Relationships are followed-up through mentoring, online tools and resources, and programs in New York City. A key goal is to connect youth with an active relationship in the church.

City Ministry: Our City Ministry in concentrated on under resourced neighborhoods in New York City. Our team works with youth through various churchs, non-profits, and local schools. Our staff and volunteers connect with youth where they live in their neighborhoods. As relationships are built our goal is to try to connect these youth with the church and provide resources where they can grow and develop a resilent relationship with God. This program creates opportunities for community outreach using neighborhood churches and other non-profit organizations. Connections made through the City Ministry help bring youth into local churches and our retreat environments at Camp Hope and Camp Joy.
