Through what we call "Camp-erience", the mission of Dickson Valley is to provide an opportunity for people to "connect" with God and each other, "grow" spiritually through an extended time of worship and renewal in His creation, that as a result, equips and encourages individuals to "engage" in active ministry through their local church community.
