Program areas at El Porvenir Christian Camp and Retreat Center
Guest groups - El Porvenir Camp partners with local churches, Christian non-profits, individual families, and other organizations to provide a Camp experience to youth, children, families, and adults. These events provide a context for god to work according to the principles of our original mission, which is to amplify the word of god, build faith in jesus, cultivate godly relationships, and be a tool in the hands of the church. We recognize success through the countless stories of changed lives as a result of these events. This is evidenced as each person learns to depend more fully on jesus christ, exchanges their old life for a life lived with christ, and returns home giving glory and thanks to god as a result of their experience at our Camp. Guest groups are generally promoted by and under the name of the partner organization we serve. We serve these groups to the glory of god.
