Breakaway creates safe spaces where young people can encounter Jesus, build character, develop life skills, form relationships through meaningful shared experiences, and become part of a lasting community.  

Camps for Underprivileged Children

Camp Elevate is our flagship summer and winter camp program serving underprivileged children and kids facing hardship. Through trauma-informed care and over 30 years of experience, we are providing safe spaces where young people can navigate their pain, experience life-change in Jesus, and “breakaway” from cycles of hurt, addiction, fatherlessness, familial incarceration, domestic violence, abuse, despair, and a myriad of other adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Our Breakaway kids depend on scholarships from community partners to help send them to camp, which often serves as a catalyst for year-round mentoring relationships in a young person’s life.

Sports Camps

Sports bring people and communities together. Breakaway partners with local churches to leverage sports in their community for reaching families and sharing the Good News of Jesus through the vehicle of sports. Our “Sports Camp in a Box” is a turnkey model for creating effective outreach events that engage communities for Christ, and cultivate “next steps” follow-up opportunities. Breakaway sports camps are safe and fun environments focused on making sport a rewarding experience for each camper, regardless of age or skill level. We have the versatility to run full week camps or daily clinics, depending on each unique missional context. Contact us if you’d like to chat about running a sports camp at your church.

Mobile Camps

Breakaway facilitates mobile recreation camps which can fit into just about any venue or context. Instead of putting kids on a bus and taking them off to a residential camp, we bring the adventures of camp to them! It’s a “turnkey” day camp that we like to call “camp in a box.” We have facilitated these mobile camps at community centers, school campuses, underserved neighborhoods, and transitional living centers (juvenile detention centers, homeless/domestic abuse shelters, refugee communities, etc.). Utilizing team-building components, recreation, sports, creative arts, and more, these camps engage young people with the Gospel right where they live and do everyday life.

Global Sports and English Camps

We partner with local churches, mobilize mission teams, and equip indigenous leaders around the globe to facilitate sports camps and English learning camps that empower youth, serve vulnerable children, and strengthen communities. We provide sports ministry training for indigenous leaders around the world through our Breakaway Sports Ministry Academy, which is now available in-person and online. See GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS
