Mission

The constitution of RLCA expresses its purpose as “teaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ as found in the New Testament.” The primary goal of the camp is to provide anunusual setting, apart from the routine and often unchristian surroundings of dailyliving. Then in this setting, the Word of God is taught and principles of Christian living emphasized on a continuing basis. Classes are taught in Scripture content as well asChristian conduct. It is the purpose of the camp that a camper will go home with aclearer understanding of Christ’s way of life, a greater love for the Savior, and agenuine desire to grow in his Christian experiences, and witness. The camp theme,“WHERE CHRIST IS NEAR AND FRIENDS ARE DEAR,” expresses a very fair view of thenature of camp life itself. It is also the purpose of the camp that those who come here as teachers and helpers as well as students all depart with a clearer, stronger faith.Camp is intended as an enjoyable experience. There is a fine balance of “fun” and“seriousness” in the atmosphere of Round Lake Christian Assembly.
